Properties

	Name	Description
	FieldOfViewAngle	Field of view, that is, perspective angle.
	MinimumViewDistance	Minimum View distance. Limits the adjust range of ViewDistance. In some cases, you don't want to let the user set the camera too near.
	OrientationMode	Type of orientation angle definition used in camera orientation. This affects how on the orientation angles (RotationX, RotationY and RotationZ) are interpreted and how do they affect the camera orientation / position. See OrientationModes for more detailed description of options.
	Projection	Gets or sets camera projection type.
	RotationX	Part of defining camera orientation and position, by setting its looking direction rotation around X-axis (pitch, elevation) in degrees. Selected Orientation mode (OrientationMode) defines how the value affects camera orientation and position. See OrientationModes enumeration for more information. RotationY and RotationZ needs to be set as well for defining camera orientation. The rotation values are taken into account on a specific order, NOT on the order they are set. In some orientation modes setting this value causes user device horizontal rotation axis to be set.
	RotationXMaximum	Maximum allowed value of RotationX property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	RotationXMinimum	Minimum allowed value of RotationX property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	RotationY	Part of defining camera orientation and position, by setting its looking direction rotation around Y-axis (Yaw, Heading, Bearing) in degrees. Selected Orientation mode (OrientationMode) defines how the value affects camera orientation and position. See OrientationModes enumeration for more information. RotationX and RotationZ needs to be set as well for defining camera orientation. The rotation values are taken into account on a specific order, NOT on the order they are set. In some orientation modes setting this value causes user device horizontal rotation axis to be set.
	RotationYMaximum	Maximum allowed value of RotationY property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	RotationYMinimum	Minimum allowed value of RotationY property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	RotationZ	Part of defining camera orientation and position, by setting its looking direction rotation around Z-axis (pitch, elevation) in degrees. This property has highly different effects on different orientation modes. Selected Orientation mode (OrientationMode) defines how the value affects camera orientation and position. See OrientationModes enumeration for more information. RotationY and RotationX needs to be set as well for defining camera orientation. The rotation values are taken into account on a specific order, NOT on the order they are set. In some orientation modes setting this value causes user device horizontal rotation axis to be set.
	RotationZMaximum	Maximum allowed value of RotationZ property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	RotationZMinimum	Minimum allowed value of RotationZ property. This can be used to limit camera orientation / location to some specific area.
	Target	Target 3D world coordinate. Camera is targeted towards this coordinate. Use (0,0,0) to center in the 3D view. View distance is calculated from this target.
	ViewDistance	View distance. You should use values in range 10...1000. Distance is calculated from Target. MinimumViewDistance[!:MaximumViewDistance]

Methods

	Name	Description
	Dispose	Release all resources used by this instance. (Inherited from ChartNode.)
	DistanceToOrthographicViewArea	Converts view distance value into a orthographic view area. Used for building projection matrix.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetFarClipDistance	Getter of the far clipping distance for the 3D projection. This is an advanced setting that is not supported in normal use and should not be modified.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetLocationAs3DWorldCoord	Gets camera location in 3D world space.
	GetNearClipDistance	Getter of the near clipping distance for the 3D projection. This is an advanced setting that is not supported in normal use and should not be modified.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	LockPointerDeviceHorizRotationAxis	Locks user pointer device (mouse etc) based rotation to use current camera orientation settings for rotation axis. This affects the way horizontal rotation behaves on certain OrientationModes values. This has no effect when OrientationMode is XYZ_Mixed. This method is intended mostly as internal operation of LC. It's run when RotationX, RotationY or RotationZ properties are changed, causing horizontal rotation axis to be locked based on the current rotation settings. The method has been left as public for special cases, where users need to make the same operation without modifying the rotation parameters.
	OrthographicViewAreaToDistance(SizeFloat)	Converts orthographic view's area into a view distance value.
	OrthographicViewAreaToDistance(SizeFloat, Double, Double)	Converts orthographic view's area into a view distance value.
	SetEulerAngles	Same as setting RotationX, RotationY and RotationZ properties separately. Allows easier setting of the properties and is faster than separate setting of the properties.
	SetFarClipDistance	Setter of the far clipping distance for the 3D projection. This is an advanced setting that is not supported in normal use and should not be modified.
	SetNearClipDistance	Setter of the near clipping distance for the 3D projection. This is an advanced setting that is not supported in normal use and should not be modified.
	SetPredefinedCamera	Sets camera orientation angles to values based given predefined orientation setting.
	ToString	Convert class description to string (Overrides ObjectToString.)
