All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, PsUpdateIf, PvCameraIf
```
public final class PvCamera
extends PsObject
implements PvCameraIf
```
Camera provides transformation matrices to project a scene into a given target image of given size.
A camera may be in one of four different projection types, for example, PvCameraIf.CAMERA_PERSPECTIVE. The camera compute the transformation matrices based in the mouse pick and drag positions. The size of the picking device and of the target image may differ.
If the camera info panel is showing, then it is updated when the camera is changed. On slow machines just disable the camera panel to avoid immediate panel updates.

  - getRoll
```
public double getRoll()
```
    Get angle which camera is rotated around viewing direction against default position. The default position depends on the projection mode of the camera.
    Mathematically, the roll is the angle between the two planes p1=(viewDir, defaultUpVector) and p2=(viewDir, upVector). The defaultUpVector depends on the projection mode, in xy-projection mode we have defaultUpVector=(0,1,0) since camera looks down the negative z-axis and the positive y-axis is showing upward.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRoll in interface PvCameraIf

  - getInterest
```
public PdVector getInterest()
```
    Get position at which camera is directed, i.e. the point of interest. Interest is implicitly stored as the 4th column of the inverse viewing matrix.
```

```
    Specified by:
    
    getInterest in interface PvCameraIf
    
    Returns:
    
    3d-coordinates of interest in world coordinates.
  - setInterest
```
public void setInterest(PdVector pos)
```
    Set location at which camera is directed, i.e. the point of interest. This method does not change the viewing direction, that means, implicitly the camera position is moved parallel in order to keep the same viewing direction.
    This behaviour results from the steering inside the camera panel where a user may change the interest, viewing direction and distance. Users who want to set camera position and interest are advised either to first set the interest and then the position, or to set the viewing direction and then the interest.
