Wide angles enable the observer to see a large portion of the scene when positioned inside the data area. A wide angle also presents a distorted view, similar to that of a fish-eye lens.

Decreasing the ViewFieldAngle creates the appearance of zooming in even though the observer position is unchanged.

The default ViewFieldAngle is 55 degrees.

                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException
The roll angle in degrees.

Remarks

The RollAngle represents the angle, in degrees, of the camera about the line of sight between the observer and target. Angles will be reported in the range >=0 and <360. Angles can be given outside of this range but will be 'wrapped' to the equivalent value in the 0 to 360 range. For example -1 is the equivalent of 359 and 361 is the equivalent of 1.

A RollAngle of 0.0, the default, is straight up relative to the Z axis in the scene. Increasing the RollAngle will tilt the camera clockwise about the line of sight.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

                             AutomationException

Remarks

The projection can be set to either esriPerspectiveProjection or esriOrthoProjection. A perspective projection provides a sense of three dimensionality. An orthographic projection maintains constant scale throughout and is used to provide a 2D, planimetric, view.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Indicates if the camera has valid parameters.

Remarks

Before doing something with a camera it is advisable to call IsUsable first. It's possible the camera has some properties which are undefined or is unable to perform certain requests. This happens when a camera is associated with an empty scene, the target/observer or other parameters has invalid values (not a number, for instance), or when the target and the observer share the same location etc.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

Specified by:
isUsable in interface ICamera
Returns:

The polar inclination of the observer relative to the target. When changed, the observer moves.

Remarks

The inclination represents the altitude angle, in degrees, of the observer relative to the target. When the observer is above the target the inclination is positive, when below it's negative.

                        AutomationException
Updates the observer's location by given polar increments.

Remarks

The observer will be moved by the values specified in the arguments:

The distanceFactor resets the current ViewingDistance (distance between observer and target) by multiplying it by the given factor.

dAzimuth is added to the current azimuth.

dInclination is added to the current inclination. If the resulting inclination doesn't fall between -89.9 and 89.9 it will be reset so that it does unless bLimitInclination is set to False.

bLimitInclination when set to True ensures the modified inclination doesn't fall outside the -89.9 to 89.9 limit. If set to False and the limit is exceeded the azimuth will be changed 180 degrees and the UpDirection will be flipped.

MultiPhaseRendering is only implemented in ArcScene.

The far/near distance here refers to the distance between the observer and the far/near clipping plane in OpenGL terms.
