ViewSettings

The defaultCamOrientation specifies the orientation of the cube when cubeRx=0, cubeRy=0 and cubeRz=0 (which are rotations of the cube) are all zero.

As discussed in the other pages, The world coordinate frame has the yellow point as the origin, the yellow axis is the z axis, the red axis is the y axis and the blue axis is the y axis, and dataZoffset=1 (the pyramid).

defaultCamOrientation="z-forward-x-left"	``defaultCamOrientation="z-up-x-left"`

defaultCamOrientation="z-up-x-forward"	defaultCamOrientation=z-forward-x-right

cam.zoom and canvasToViewRatio

To better understand the cam.zoom and canvasToViewRatio I'm going to borrow some images from the following:

• Scratch a Pixel 2.0: Finding the 2D pixel coordinates of a 3D Point Explained from Beginning to End

• Gabriel Gambeta: Computer Graphics from scratch (Perspective Projection)

Bottomline if you increase the cam.zoom or canvasToViewRatio everything will appear bigger. If you decrease them, they will appear smaller.

defaultCamZoffset

• defaultCamZoffset is the distance of the camera coordinate frame from the world coordinate frame origin when camTz=0 in the zAxis direction of the world coordinate frame.
• camTx is the distance of the camera from the world coordinate frame origin in the xAxis direction of the world coordinate frame.
• camTy is the distance of the camera from the world coordinate from origin in the yAxis direction of the world coordinate frame.

cubeRx, cubeRy, and cubeRz

The world coordinate frame has the yellow point as the origin. cubeRx, cubeRy, and cubeRz are angles in degrees for which the cube is rotated where the turning point is the origin of the coordinate frame. In the picture below cubeRx=0, cubeRy=27.5, cubeRz=0 which is wrt to the origin of the world coordinate frame.

If you want the cube to rotate with respect to the center of the floor of the cube. Make the cubeZoffset=1

In the picture below Rx=-25, Ry=0 Rz=-25.8 which is wrt to the origin of the world coordinate frame.
