public class Camera
extends AbstractViewportManager

A Camera allow to define on the view and target points in a cartesian coordinate system. The Camera provides the following services:

• allows setting perspective/orthogonal rendering mode through CameraMode.
• selects the appropriate clipping planes according to a given target box.
• ensure the modelview matrix is always available for GL2 calls related to anything else than projection.
• methods to convert screen coordinates into 3d coordinates and vice-versa
