Detailed Description
Orthographic camera node.
An orthographic camera defines a parallel projection from a viewpoint. This camera does not diminish objects with distance, as an SoPerspectiveCamera does. The viewing volume for an orthographic camera is a rectangular parallelepiped (a box).
By default, the camera is located at (0,0,1) and looks along the negative z-axis; the position and orientation fields can be used to change these values. The height field defines the total height of the viewing volume; this and the aspectRatio field determine its width.
See the base class SoCamera for more information about the inherited fields.
Useful algorithms for manipulating a camera are provided in the SoCameraInteractor class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| SoOrthographicCamera::SoOrthographicCamera | ( | ) |
Creates an orthographic camera node with default settings.
Member Function Documentation
| static SoType SoOrthographicCamera::getClassTypeId | ( | ) | [static] |
Returns the type identifier for this class.
Reimplemented from SoCamera.
| virtual SoType SoOrthographicCamera::getTypeId | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Returns the type identifier for this specific instance.
Reimplemented from SoCamera.
| virtual SbViewVolume SoOrthographicCamera::getViewVolume | ( | float | useAspectRatio = 0.0 |
) | const [virtual] |
Fills in a view volume structure, based on the camera.
If the useAspectRatio field is not 0.0 (the default), the camera uses that ratio instead of the one it has.
Note that in ADJUST_CAMERA mode, Inventor automatically modifies the view volume based on the aspect ratio of the viewport. However the view volume values are not changed, only the values passed to OpenGL. In order to get the modified values (i.e., the actual view volume used to render) you must pass the actual viewport aspect ratio to getViewVolume.
Implements SoCamera.
