poI3DViewCtrl SetOrientation

Syntax

viewControl_handle SetOrientation "Tx Ty Tz E1 E2 E3"

Or

viewControl_handle SetOrientation "<named_views>"

Application

HyperView Tcl Modify

Description

Sets the orientation of the model within the view. Six floats are required: three for the translation of the model in X, Y, and Z, and three Euler angles for the rotation about the Z, X, Z axes.

This command is valid for both the orthographic projection and perspective projection modes.

Inputs

Tx, Ty, Tz: Translation of the model in X, Y, and Z.
E1, E2, E3: Euler angles for the rotation of the model about Z, X, Z axes.

Example

To copy just the model orientation from one window to another:

Note: This example assumes that the same model is loaded in two side-by-side windows.
