DESCRIPTION

       An  orthographic  camera  defines  a  parallel projection from a viewpoint. This camera does not diminish
       objects with distance, as an SoPerspectiveCamera does. The viewing volume for an orthographic camera is a
       rectangular parallelepiped (a box).

       By default, the camera is located at (0,0,1) and looks  along  the  negative  z-axis;  the  position  and
       orientation  fields  can be used to change these values. The height field defines the total height of the
       viewing volume; this and the aspectRatio field determine its width.

FIELDS

     SoSFFloat           height
          Height of the viewing volume.

METHODS

                         SoOrthographicCamera()
          Creates an orthographic camera node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoHandleEventAction, SoRayPickAction
          Sets the viewport and camera information in the state.
