    Orbit
    In This Topic

    The orbit function in the CADCamera class allows users to move the camera on a plane by a given angle, while looking at and keeping the same distance from a set point.

    The following Orbit sample illustrates how you use the orbit function to rotate around horizontal and vertical axes:

    C#
    Copy Code
    using System.IO;
    using ImageGear.Formats;
    using ImageGear.Formats.CAD;
    
    public static void CameraOrbit(string path, double radX, double radY)
    {
        ImGearCADPage page = null;
    
        // Load the file.
        using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
        {
            page = (ImGearCADPage)ImGearFileFormats.LoadPage(fileStream);
        }
    
        // Orbit the camera
        page.Camera.Orbit(radX, radY);
    }
    
    VB.NET
    Copy Code
    Imports System.IO
    Imports ImageGear.Formats
    Imports ImageGear.Formats.CAD
    
    Public Sub CameraOrbit(path As String, radX As Double, radY As Double)
        Dim page As ImGearCADPage
    
        ' Load the file.
        Using fileStream As New FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
            page = ImGearFileFormats.LoadPage(fileStream)
        End Using
    
        '  Orbit the camera
        page.Camera.Orbit(radX, radY)
    End Sub
