gluLookAt — define a viewing transformation
C Specification
void gluLookAt( GLdouble eyeX,
GLdouble eyeY,
GLdouble eyeZ,
GLdouble centerX,
GLdouble centerY,
GLdouble centerZ,
GLdouble upX,
GLdouble upY,
GLdouble upZ);
Parameters
eyeX, eyeY, eyeZ
Specifies the position of the eye point.
centerX, centerY, centerZ
Specifies the position of the reference point.
upX, upY, upZ
Specifies the direction of the up vector.
Description
gluLookAt creates a viewing matrix derived from an eye point, a reference point indicating the center of the scene, and an UP vector.
