I don't know almost anything about it but let's start: On basics put a new section:

3D Camera

To force a plot to be visualized in 3D use the attribute limits with a nonzero z-axis interval. Example: limits = HyperRectangle{3,Float32}([0,0,0],[1,1,1])

Use the camera given by campixel!(scene) to add a plot that looks like a 2D plot from the user perspective (it generatets a subscene with an orthographic view aligned to pixelspace) For not modifing the camera view while plotting use the attributeraw=true.

Camera controls configuration can be customized by setting the fields of cam = cameracontrols(scene):

• pan_button: The mouse button used for panning.
• rotate_button: The mouse button used for rotating the camera.
• translationspeed: This parameter allows to customize the panning speed.
• rotationspeed: This parameter allows to customize the camera rotation speed
• move_key

The other fields are for camera positioning, the camera needs to be updated after changing these:

• lookat: The camera is directed at this point.
• eyeposition: The camera is at this point.
• upvector: The camera up direction follows this vector (normalized internally)
• fov: Field of view of the camera (not used for zooming internally)

Remaining fields:

• near
• far
• projectiontype (perspective, orthographic)

Example: cam.rotationspeed[]=0.05
