camheading
R2026bDescription
Add-On Required: This feature requires the 3D Scenarios add-on.
camheading(
sets the camera heading angle for viewer v,heading)v. Setting the heading angle
shifts the camera left or right. For more information about how camera rotations affect your
view of the globe, see How Camera Orientation Affects Globe View.
headingOut = camheading(v,heading)
headingOut = camheading(v)v.

More About
The values of the camera heading, pitch, and roll angles affect your
view of a GlobeViewer object. The 3D Scenarios add-on references
these values to the globe using a north-east-down (NED) coordinate system. As a
result, when the heading, pitch, and roll angles of the camera are zero, the camera
sits on a plane that is parallel to the tangent plane of the globe at the current
latitude and longitude. For more information about NED coordinate systems, see Comparison of 3-D Coordinate Systems.
Change your view of a GlobeViewer object by changing the heading,
pitch, and roll angles of the camera:
Heading — Rotate the camera about its z-axis, which shifts the view left or right. Move the view to the right by increasing the heading angle.
Pitch — Rotate the camera about its y-axis, which tilts the view up or down. Tilt the view up by increasing the pitch angle.
Roll — Rotate the camera about its x-axis, which spins the camera around its lens. Spin the view counterclockwise by increasing the roll angle.
