View label.

Gamma, Beta, Alpha

The angles determining the viewing direction.

• gamma - the angle around the Z coordinate.

• beta - the viewing direction in relation to the horizon.

• alpha - the eye inclination.

Focus

The focus of an axonometric projection is 0. In a perspective projection, the focus affects the size of the model in the working window. As focus increases, the viewing angle decreases and the size of the model increases, and vice versa.

X, Y, Z

The coordinates of the viewing target in a perspective projection. In an axonometric projection the coordinates are 0,0,0. The viewing point and viewing direction are determined by the gamma, beta and alpha angles and the focus.
