tumble [-azimuthAngle angle] [-elevationAngle angle] [-localTumble int] [-pivotPoint linear linear linear] [-rotationAngles angle angle]
[camera]
tumble is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The tumble command revolves the camera(s) by varying the azimuth
and elevation angles in the perspective window. When both the
azimuth and the elevation angles are supplied on the command line,
the camera is firstly tumbled for the azimuth angle, then tumbled
for the elevation angle.
When no camera name is supplied, this command is applied to the
camera in the active view.
The camera's rotate pivot will override a specifed pivot point if
the rotate pivot is not at the camera's eye point.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
