Camera Class
.NET Framework Class Library
Camera Class

Represents an imaginary viewing position and direction in 3-D coordinate space that describes how a 3-D model is projected onto a 2-D visual.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media.Media3D
Assembly:  PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public MustInherit Class Camera _
    Inherits Animatable _
    Implements IFormattable
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Camera
C#
public abstract class Camera : Animatable, 
    IFormattable
Visual C++
public ref class Camera abstract : public Animatable, 
    IFormattable
JScript
public abstract class Camera extends Animatable implements IFormattable
XAML
This class is abstract; see Inheritance Hierarchy for derived non-abstract classes usable in XAML.
