camlookat
2camlookat
Purpose Position the camera to view an object or group of objects
Syntax camlookat(object_handles)
camlookat(axes_handle)
camlookat
Description camlookat(object_handles) views the objects identified in the vector
object_handles. The vector can contain the handles of axes children.
2-192
camlookat(axes_handle) views the objects that are children of the axes
identified by axes_handle.
camlookat views the objects that are in the current axes.
Remarks camlookat moves the camera position and camera target while preserving the
relative view direction and camera view angle. The object (or objects) being
viewed roughly fill the axes position rectangle.
camlookat sets the axes CameraPosition and CameraTarget properties.
Examples This example creates three spheres at different locations and then
progressively positions the camera so that each sphere is the object around
which the scene is composed:
[x y z] = sphere;
s1 = surf(x,y,z);
hold on
s2 = surf(x+3,y,z+3);
s3 = surf(x,y,z+6);
daspect([1 1 1])
view(30,10)
