CameraPosition

class ansys.result_explorer.core.CameraPosition(matrix: list[float])

Human-readable wrapper for a 4x4 camera matrix.

The matrix is stored row-major as 16 values:

[ right.x   right.y   right.z   tx ]
[ up.x      up.y      up.z      ty ]
[ fwd.x     fwd.y     fwd.z     tz ]
[ 0         0         0         w  ]

Methods

CameraPosition.back()	View parallel to XY plane, looking from -Z (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.bottom()	View parallel to XZ plane, looking from -Y (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.front()	View parallel to XY plane, looking from +Z (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.isometric()	Return standard isometric view (+X+Y+Z corner, Y up).
CameraPosition.left()	View parallel to YZ plane, looking from -X (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.right_view()	View parallel to YZ plane, looking from +X (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.rotate_x(degrees)	Return a new CameraPosition rotated degrees around the world X axis.
CameraPosition.rotate_y(degrees)	Return a new CameraPosition rotated degrees around the world Y axis.
CameraPosition.rotate_z(degrees)	Return a new CameraPosition rotated degrees around the world Z axis.
CameraPosition.top()	View parallel to XZ plane, looking from +Y (Ansys Mechanical convention).
CameraPosition.with_translation(tx, ty, tz)	Return a copy of this CameraPosition with new translation values.
CameraPosition.with_zoom(zoom)	Return a copy of this CameraPosition with a new zoom value.

Attributes

CameraPosition.forward	Camera forward (Z-axis) direction.
CameraPosition.matrix	Raw 16-element row-major matrix.
CameraPosition.right	Camera right (X-axis) direction.
CameraPosition.translation	Camera translation (tx, ty, tz) stored in matrix[3], [7], [11].
CameraPosition.up	Camera up (Y-axis) direction.
CameraPosition.zoom	Zoom / scale factor stored in matrix[15].
