Detailed Description

a virtual camera for 3D rendering

vtkCamera is a virtual camera for 3D rendering. It provides methods to position and orient the view point and focal point. Convenience methods for moving about the focal point also are provided. More complex methods allow the manipulation of the computer graphics model including view up vector, clipping planes, and camera perspective.
