track( [camera] , [down=linear], [left=linear], [right=linear], [upDistance01=linear], [upDistance02=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
track is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
The track command translates a camera horizontally or vertically in
the world space. The viewing-direction and up-direction of the
camera are not altered. There is no translation in the viewing
direction. The track command can be applied to either a perspective
or an orthographic camera. When no camera name is supplied, this
command is applied to the camera in the active view.

Properties |
left(l) |
linear |
 |
|
Set the amount of left translation in unit distance. |
|
right(r) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of right translation in unit distance. |
|
upDistance01(u) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of up translation in unit distance. This is
equivalent to using up/upDistance02 flag. |
|
upDistance02(up) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of up translation in unit distance. This is
equivalent to using u/upDistance01 flag. |
|
down(d) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of down translation in unit distance. |
