Static z-axis rotation about glabstraction.jl HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks. I'll have a look.

from glabstraction.jl.

Yeah would be nice! It's very hard to get a good reference for camera code, since it's either hidden deep in a complex C++ library, closed source, or one just finds toy example. I even went through the effort to extract the camera code from Blender, but it was so complex I gave up^^

So this was definitely one of the occasions where I had 0 motivation to reinvent the wheel, but I couldn't find any good reference to implement this nicely.
At some point I was just like: ok I wasted way too much time on the camera code, this has to be good enough for now.
Any help to improve this would be very welcome.

Btw, at some point I implemented the cube camera navigation from 3Ds max, which was pretty nice, but integrated rather awkwardly with the rest....

I did not realize this is difficult to do. I implemented a similar fix for MATLAB based rotation (https://www.gibboncode.org/img/gibbonViewControl.gif, left GIBBON, right MATLAB). Since I'm new to Julia I might not be much help but I can have a look if you like. Could you point me to the right code?

Well, it's probably not super hard, but starting from scratch without any mathematical background was definitely not easy, especially if one doesn't really know how the best camera should be ;)
Here lives the 3D camera code:

Thanks @SimonDanisch I've moved the discussion over to: JuliaPlots/AbstractPlotting.jl#147
