Defining Scenes with Camera Graphics

When you look at the graphics objects displayed in an axes, you are viewing a scene from a particular location in space that has a particular orientation with regard to the scene. MATLAB Graphics provides functionality, analogous to that of a camera with a zoom lens, that enables you to control the view of the scene created by MATLAB.

This picture illustrates how the camera is defined in terms of properties of the axes.
