Syntax

camorbit(dtheta, dphi)

Rotates by dtheta degrees horizontally and dphi degrees vertically.

camorbit(dtheta, dphi, 'data', axis)

Rotates around the given axis, in data coordinates.

Description

The camera moves along a sphere around the target while still looking at it, so the object appears to turn. A pair of calls with opposite angles returns to the starting view.

Input arguments

dtheta: Horizontal rotation in degrees.
dphi: Vertical rotation in degrees.
axis: Rotation axis as a 3-element vector.

Example

Turning the view
