Aero.Camera

Construct camera object for use with animation object

Syntax

h = Aero.Camera

Description

h = Aero.Camera constructs a camera object h for use with an animation object. The camera object uses the registered coordinate transform. By default, this is an aerospace body coordinate system. Axes of custom coordinate systems must be orthogonal.

By default, an Aero.Body object natively uses aircraft x-y-z coordinates for the body geometry and the time series data. Convert time series data from other coordinate systems on the fly by registering a different CoordTransformFcn function.
