API Panel.Position.Camera.GetTarget
<sidebar>API Contents</sidebar> Gets a handle to the target camera position
Contents
Parameters
This function has no parameters
Return value
Returns the handle to the target camera position
Detailed description
This gets the position of the target of the camera - this is the point the camera appears to be looking at, and the point that the camera eye will rotate around in normal operation. The camera is always that of the first view of the System Panel. No other camera position can be manipulated with this API.
The cameras target is always orientated looking away from the eye in Z along a ray perpendicular to the target plane (also known as the object plane). This is the same orientation in the position returned by GetEye.
The coordinates and rotation are variable depending on the position of the camera, but the scale is unused and set to (1,1,1) for the resultant position. This position is compatible with any of the Position API calls.
