[vtkusers] Documentation mistake in vtkCamera

[John Platt]

Hi,

This has been noted previously http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtk-developers/2005-July/003416.html

Perhaps this is the independent verification required?

HTH

John.

    Hi,


    I want to notice that there is a mistake in the documentation of vtkCamera::Elevation (both 5.4 and nightly)


    it states that:
    "Rotate the camera about the cross product of the direction of projection and the view up vector centered on the focal point."


    but in the cxx file it is correct:
    "Rotate the camera about the cross product of the negative of the direction of projection and the view up vector centered on the focal point."


    we can replace "the negative of the direction of projection" by "the view plane normal".




  I've never looked into this class so I can't help. But maybe someone else can take a second to verify this? We shouldn't let good suggestions like this get looked over!

  Thanks,


  David
