Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
viewManip is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
Mel access to the view cube manipulator.

visible(v) |
boolean |
  |
|
Shows/hides the view manip. |
|
topRight(tr) |
boolean |

dragSnap(ds) |
boolean |
|
|
Enable snapping of orbit direction to view cube part directions
during drag operation. |
|
zoomToFitScene(zf) |
boolean |
|
|

object in the viewport. |
|
drawCompass(dc) |
boolean |
|
|

|
compassAngle(ca) |
float |
|
|
Angle (in degrees) to rotate the compass. |
|
levelCamera(lc) |
boolean |
|
|
Flattens the camera view rotation relative to the ground
plane. |
|
restoreCenter(rc) |
boolean |
|
|
Repositions the pivot point for orbiting/tumbling the scene to
the center of the scene's bounding box. |
|
fitToView(ftv) |
boolean |
|
