Detailed Description

This class implements a camera.

Cameras are associated with the 3D views and controlled with the Camera tool. A camera is represented by an orthogonal, right-handed coordinate system, where the x-axis points right, the y-axis points forward (the viewing direction) and the z-axis points up.

Member Function Documentation

const MatrixT & CameraT::GetMatrix

(

)

const

Returns the matrix that represents the position and orientation of this camera.

Vector3fT CameraT::GetXAxis

(

)

const

Returns the x-axis (pointing right) of the camera space.

Vector3fT CameraT::GetYAxis

(

)

const

Returns the y-axis (pointing forward) of the camera space. This is the direction the camera is looking into!

Vector3fT CameraT::GetZAxis

(

)

const

Returns the z-axis (pointing up) of the camera space.

void CameraT::LimitAngles

(

)

This method wraps the yaw into the [0°, 360°[ intervall and clamps the pitch to -90° and +90°. Call this method after each manipulation of the angles!

void CameraT::SetLookAtPos

(

const Vector3fT &

LookAtPos

)

This method automatically computes the orientation of the camera so that it looks at the given point.

Member Data Documentation

cf::math::AnglesfT CameraT::Angles

The angles that describe the cameras orientation. The pitch value is limited/clamped to the interval from -90° to +90°, and roll is not used at all.

float CameraT::FarPlaneDist

The distance of the far clip plane to the tip of the view pyramid.

float CameraT::NearPlaneDist

The distance of the near clip plane to the tip of the view pyramid.

Vector3fT CameraT::Pos

The cameras position in the world.

float CameraT::VerticalFOV

The cameras field-of-view angle, in vertical (up/down) direction.

float CameraT::ViewDirLength

This member defines how long the view direction vector (GetYAxis()) is drawn in the 2D views.
