Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, selectCameraPosition, is designed to set the camera position in a graphical user interface. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth on February 21, 2017. The function is categorized under the user interface class.
Input Parameters
- p: This is the point to set the camera position. It is an optional parameter, and if not provided, the default is an empty value.
Algorithm Steps
- The function begins by checking if there is at least one input argument. If there is, and it is not empty, it assigns this value to
p.
- If
p is empty, the function uses ginput(1) to allow the user to select a point on the current figure. It then uses select3d to get the 3D coordinates of the selected point and assigns this to p.
- The function sets the camera position of the current axes (
gca) to the point p using set(gca,'CameraPosition',p).
- It sets the camera view angle to 10 degrees using
set(gca,'CameraViewAngle',10).
- The projection type is set to 'orthographic' using
set(gca,'Projection','orthographic').
