        Camera

Camera used in every CocosNode. Useful to look at the object from different views. The OpenGL gluLookAt() function is used to locate the camera.

If the object is transformed by any of the scale, rotation or position attributes, then they will override the camera.

Methods

	__init__(self) x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
	get_z_eye(cls) Returns the best distance for the camera for the current window size
	restore(self) Restore the camera to the initial position and sets it's `dirty` attribute in False and `once` in true.
	locate(self, force=False) Sets the camera using gluLookAt using its eye, center and up_vector
Inherited from `object`: `__delattr__`, `__getattribute__`, `__hash__`, `__new__`, `__reduce__`, `__reduce_ex__`, `__repr__`, `__setattr__`, `__str__`

Inherited from object: __class__

	dirty whether or not the camera is 'dirty' It is dirty if it is not in the original position
	once optimization.

	eye = `property(_get_eye, _set_eye, doc= '''Eye of the camera i...`
	center = `property(_get_center, _set_center, doc= '''Center of ...`
	up_vector = `property(_get_up_vector, _set_up_vector, doc= '''U...`

(Constructor) __init__(self)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Class Method get_z_eye(cls)

Returns the best distance for the camera for the current window size

cocos2d uses a Filed Of View (fov) of 60

restore(self)

Restore the camera to the initial position and sets it's dirty attribute in False and once in true.

If you use the camera, for a while and you want to stop using it call this method.

locate(self, force=False)

Sets the camera using gluLookAt using its eye, center and up_vector

Parameters:

force : bool: whether or not the camera will be located even if it is not dirty

optimization. Only renders the camera once

Value:

property(_get_eye, _set_eye, doc= '''Eye of the camera in x,y,z coordi
nates
    
    :type: flaat,float,float
    ''')

Value:

property(_get_center, _set_center, doc= '''Center of the camera in x,y
,z coordinates
    
    :type: flaat,float,float
    ''')

Value:

property(_get_up_vector, _set_up_vector, doc= '''Up vector of the came
ra in x,y,z coordinates
    
    :type: flaat,float,float
    ''')
