frontParameters (fp)		unicode
goDefault (gd)		bool
goHome (gh)		bool
homeParameters (hp)		unicode
levelCamera (lc)		bool
	Flattens the camera view rotation relative to the ground plane.
minOpacity (mo)		float
	Opacity level (in range [0,1]) on view cube when the cursor is away from it (it is fully opaque when the cursor is in the view cube area).
namespace (ns)		unicode
postCommand (p)		unicode

#Position the view cube in the top left of the screen and set it to fully opaque
pm.viewManip(topLeft=True, minOpacity=1)
