3D camera view controller

Package Exports

  • 3d-view

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (3d-view) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

3d-view

This module is a generic interface which synchronizes several existing view interactions

Each camera controller proceeds by appending events onto a log. The current camera state is obtained by interpolating between these events.

Constructor

var camera = require('3d-view')([options])

Methods

camera.idle(t)

Idles the camera at time t

  • t is the time to idle at

camera.flush(t)

Flush all events in camera state before time t

  • t is the cut off time for the flush

camera.modes

An array of modes supported by the camera

camera.setMode(mode)

Sets the camera mode

  • mode is the new mode. Must be either turntable, orbit or matrix

camera.getMode()

Retrieves the current camera mode

camera.lookAt(t, eye, center, up)

Reset camera position to focus on a specified target

  • t is the time of the event
  • eye is the position of the camera
  • center is the target of the camera
  • up is a vector pointing up

camera.rotate(t, yaw, pitch, roll)

Rotates the camera incrementally by some amount

  • t is the time of the input event
  • yaw is the amount to rotate by along y-axis in radians
  • pitch is the amount to rotate by along x-axis in radians
  • roll is the amount to rotate by along z-axis in radians

camera.pan(t, dx, dy, dz)

Pans the camera in local (view relative) coordinates

  • t is the time of the event
  • dx,dy,dz is the amount to move

camera.translate(t, dx, dy, dz)

Translates the camera in world (absolute global) coordinates

  • t is the time of the event
  • dx,dy,dz is the amount to move

camera.setMatrix(t, matrix)

Sets the camera matrix to some fixed 4x4 matrix

  • t is the time of the event
  • matrix is the new camera matrix

camera.setDistance(t, r)

Sets camera distance at time t

  • t is the time of the event
  • r is the new camera distance

camera.setDistanceLimits(lo, hi)

Sets bounds on the camera distance

camera.getDistanceLimits([out])

Retrieves the camera limits

camera.recalcMatrix(t)

Recomputes all matrix properties at time t

camera.computedMatrix

The computed 4x4 matrix of the camera

camera.computedEye

The computed 3d eye vector for the camera

camera.computedUp

Computed up vector (initialized when calling recalcMatrix)

camera.computedCenter

Computed camera center point

camera.computedRadius

Computed log(radius)
