ViewPointSelectorSettings
{...}
ViewPointSelectorSettings is a global option that stores settings associated with the "3D Viewpoint Selector" dialog box. This dialog box appears when you click Input 
3D ViewPoint Selector.... ViewPointSelectorSettings consists of the following suboptions.
"CoordinateSystem"
• "CoordinateSystem" is a global option that determines if the viewpoint for a graphics object is specified in Cartesian or spherical coordinates in the "3D ViewPoint Selector" dialog box.
• With the default setting "CoordinateSystem" 
Cartesian, the three parameters that define the viewpoint are the Cartesian coordinates x, y, and z.
• With the setting "CoordinateSystem" Spherical, the three parameters that define the viewpoint are the spherical coordinates r, 
, and 
.
"TemplateText"
• "TemplateText" is a global option that determines the form for the coordinates of the viewpoint when it is pasted into a notebook using the "3D ViewPoint Selector" dialog box.
• With the default setting "TemplateText" "ViewPoint {\\x, \\y, \\z}", the Cartesian coordinates of the viewpoint are pasted into the notebook.
• With the setting "TemplateText" "{\\r, \\t, \\p}", the spherical coordinates of the viewpoint are pasted into the notebook.
"ViewPoint"
• "ViewPoint" is a global option that determines the point in space from which the cube displayed in the "3D ViewPoint Selector" dialog box is viewed.
• ViewPoint {x, y, z} gives the position of the view point relative to the center of the three-dimensional box.
• The view point is given in a special scaled coordinate system in which the longest side of the bounding box has length 1. In this coordinate system, the center of the bounding box is at {0, 0, 0}.
• Common settings for ViewPoint are as follows.
• Setting
ViewPoint further away from the object reduces the distortion associated with perspective.
"WindowMargins"
• "WindowMargins" is a global option that determines the size of margins around the "3DViewpointSelector" dialog box.
• "WindowMargins" {{left, right}, {bottom, top}} determines the distances from each edge of your screen to each edge of the window.
• The values of left, right, bottom, and top are given in points, where 72 points equal one inch.
• Negative values of left, right, bottom, and top represent edges that are off the screen.
• Typically only two distances are given explicitly; the others are set to Automatic, indicating that they should be determined from the size of the window.
• The settings for "WindowMargins" change automatically whenever you move a window around interactively on the screen.
• The window edges closer to the edges of the screen are typically assigned explicit margin distances; the other edges are set to Automatic. This allows the same setting for "WindowMargins" to work on screens of different sizes.
