[vtkusers] vtkCamera and standard views

[Ben Held]

Hello,

I need to be able to offer a set of standard views (top, bottom, left,
right, front, back, isometric, reverse isometric) to my users.  I have tried
to use vtkCamera::SetViewPlaneNormal() (and also tried vtkCamera::SetRoll),
but these don't seem to work as expected.  Does anyone have any ideas on how
to do this properly?  Additionally, I would like to be able to tell the user
the current rotation position in something like spherical coordinates
(theta, phi, roll) and allow them to set these values exactly.  Ideas?

Thanks,

Ben
