Re: [Visualpython-users] controlling zooming

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve, and the display is
very far away after autoscaling and therefore requires huge zooming to see
anything, so I may miss the mark in trying to respond to your questions. I'm
guessing though that what you're looking for is scene.fov. From the Visual
reference manual:

Field of view of the camera in radians. This is defined as the maximum of
the horizontal and vertical fields of view. You can think of it as the
angular size of an object of size range, or as the angular size of the
longer axis of the window as seen by the user. Default pi/3.0 radians (60
degrees).
