What type of change is this?

Added view_angle and camera in the config. This should close #207 .

Thanks @tomvanmele for the proposal.

Wait, I should put out a better solution that also solves #209 . I convert it into draft and will work on it.

maybe do you have any clue about the break point of the camera? sometimes it becomes blank and not useable. there might be some trick in setting the params. @Licini

@ZacZhangzhuo We should also allow using programmable API to achieve this besides config. Something like

viewer = App()
...
viewer.camera.top_view()
viewer.show()

or

viewer = App(view_port="top")
...
viewer.show()

Hi @Licini , I updated the solution and it is ready to be reviewed:

• no CUSTOM option, but in PERSPECTIVE you can define the target, position and any other params.
• The default config is minimal: PERSPECTIVE, looking at the origin.
• Params for TOP, FRONT, and RIGHT are also configurable, like the target. Except for the position

...
viewer.camera.top_view()
viewer.show()

or

Almost there, as Tom mentioned, let's make view_port to viewport and view_mode to viewmode. And please add kwarg to App init api e.g. App(viewport="Top")

[ZacZhangzhuo]

changed, you can use the below code to exam:

viewer = App(viewport="front")
viewer.show()

since this is a small update, I have not put an example yet. but the doc is updated in the tutorial_configuration:

2. In-code definition which overwrites the configuration:

::

    >>> from compas_view2.app import App
    >>> viewer = App(viewmode="lighted", viewport = "top", enable_sceneform=True, enable_propertyform=True, enable_sidebar=True, width=2000, height=1000)

let me know if you think we should add an extra example file.

---

also, the underscores of other options in the config:

like enable_propertyform, flow_view_size, zoom_selected, view_perspective, background_color, and selection_color,

are not changed. let me know if you want to change them too.

@ZacZhangzhuo if you bring in the latest changes from main the docs will build a lot faster...
