pymel.core.rendering.viewCamera¶

viewCamera(*args, **kwargs)¶

The viewCamera command is used to position a camera to look directly at the side or top of another camera. This is primarily useful for the user when he or she is setting depth-of-field and clipping planes, if they are being used. The default behaviour: If no other flags are specified, the camera in the active panel is moved and the -t is presumed. If there is a camera selected, it is used as the target camera.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
move / m		PyNode
	Specifies which camera needs to move.
sideView / s		bool
	Position camera to look at the side of the target camera.
topView / t		bool
	Position camera to look at the top of the target camera (default). Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.viewCamera

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.viewCamera( 'cameraShape2', m='cameraShape1' )

# Move current view camera to top of camera1
pm.viewCamera( 'camera1' )
