Display the orbit center during rotation

Type

boolean, default True

Which axis of the 3D Mouse cap zooms the view

Type

boolean, default True

use_mouse_depth_navigate

Use the depth under the mouse to improve view pan/rotate/zoom functionality

Type

boolean, default False

use_mouse_emulate_3_button

Emulate Middle Mouse with Alt+Left Mouse

Type

boolean, default False

use_multitouch_gestures

Type

enum in ['VERTICAL', 'HORIZONTAL'], default "'VERTICAL'"

view_zoom_method

Which style to use for viewport scaling

  • CONTINUE Continue – Continuous zooming. The zoom direction and speed depends on how far along the set Zoom Axis the mouse has moved..

  • DOLLY Dolly – Zoom in and out based on mouse movement along the set Zoom Axis.

  • SCALE Scale – Zoom in and out as if you are scaling the view, mouse movements relative to center.

Type

enum in ['CONTINUE', 'DOLLY', 'SCALE'], default "'DOLLY'"
