Camera

The camera can be configured in two ways:

Direct Camera Settings

The camera has three direct settings:

zoom: Controls the zoom level of the camera.
position: Specifies the camera’s position in 3D space.
look_at: Determines the point in space the camera is oriented towards.

Example usage:

viewer.camera.zoom = 2
viewer.camera.position = [0, 0, 100]
viewer.camera.look_at = [0, 0, 0]

Viewpoint-Centric Settings

This approach is useful for orienting the camera towards a subject, like the center of atoms or a bounding box, based on direction and distance from the subject. This method automatically calculates the appropriate position and look_at` values.

# Direction is relative to the center of atoms or bounding box.
# Distance specifies how far the camera is from the look_at point.
viewer.camera.setting = {"direction": [0, 5, 1], "distance": 50, "zoom": 2}

Camera Type

For the moment, only orthographic camera is supported.
