Set Matlab camera View (Mostly Zoom)

Question

So I have a program in matlab that makes a movie. The movie is made up of frames that look like this:

Now the camera angle is set by doing this:

campos(1.0e+002 *[1.317650052908556 -1.507231720261665 0.834498724031213]);

Those numbers are used by rotating to the correct view with the camera toolbar then using the command:

 get(gca, 'CameraPosition')

Now I want to set the zoom of the camera. How can I do this?

Note: Zooming to the correct position and doing the get command described above does not return anyhting differant. It is the same for all zoom positions.

Answer 1

You can use the property CameraViewAngle to control the zoom of the camera, e.g.

set(gca, 'CameraViewAngle', 0.5)

to set an angle or

get(gca, 'CameraViewAngle')

to query the current view angle.
