ViewCenter

Updated In 6 Graphic
ViewCenter
is an option for Graphics3D and related functions which gives the scaled coordinates of the point which should appear at the center of the final image.
  • With the default setting ViewCenter->Automatic, the whole bounding box is centered in the final image.
  • With the setting ViewCenter->{1/2, 1/2, 1/2}, the center of the three-dimensional bounding box will be placed at the center of the final image.
  • The setting for ViewCenter is given in scaled coordinates, which run from 0 to 1 across each dimension of the bounding box.
  • ViewCenter->{{x, y, z}, {px, py}} makes the 3D point with scaled coordinates (x, y, z) appear at scaled coordinate position (px, py) in the final 2D image.
  • The default is ViewCenter->{{x, y, z}, ImageScaled[{1, 1}/2]}.
  • In a notebook front end, rotating a 3D object by dragging the mouse does not change the setting for ViewCenter. Panning changes the second element in the ViewCenter list.

In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
 
Use the ViewCenter->{vc, vp} to specify that 3D point vc gets mapped to the 2D point vp:
In[1]:=
