DESCRIPTION
A perspective camera defines a perspective projection from a viewpoint. The viewing volume for a perspective camera is a truncated right pyramid.

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 heightAngle field defines the total vertical angle of the viewing volume; this and the aspectRatio field determine the horizontal angle.

FIELDS
SoSFFloat heightAngle
Vertical angle of the viewing volume.

METHODS
SoPerspectiveCamera()
Creates a perspective camera node with default settings.
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR
Sets the viewport and camera information in the state.
