Input Arguments

viewer — Tracking globe viewer

trackingGlobeViewer object

Tracking globe viewer, specified as a trackingGlobeViewer object.¹

orientation — Orientation of camera

three-element real-valued vector

Orientation of the camera, specified as a three-element real-valued vector in the form [yaw pitch roll], where:

• yaw is the yaw angle in degrees, specified as a scalar in the range [-360 360].

• pitch is the pitch angle in degrees, specified as a scalar in the range [-90 90].

• roll is the roll angle in degrees, specified as a scalar in the range [-360 360].

Output Arguments

orient — Current orientation of camera

three-element real-valued vector

Current orientation of the camera, returned as a three-element real-valued vector in the form [yaw pitch roll], where:

• yaw is the yaw angle in degrees, returned as a scalar in the range [-360 360].

• pitch is the pitch angle in degrees, returned as a scalar in the range [-90 90].

• roll is the roll angle in degrees, returned as a scalar in the range [-360 360].
