DESCRIPTION

       An orthographic camera defines a parallel projection from a viewpoint.  This  camera  does
       not diminish objects with distance, as an SoPerspectiveCamera does. The viewing volume for
       an orthographic camera is a rectangular parallelepiped (a box).

       By default, the camera is located at (0,0,1) and looks  along  the  negative  z-axis;  the
       position  and  orientation  fields  can  be  used to change these values. The height field
       defines the total height of the viewing volume; this and the aspectRatio  field  determine
       its width.

FIELDS

     SoSFFloat           height
          Height of the viewing volume.

METHODS

                         SoOrthographicCamera()
          Creates an orthographic camera node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction,     SoCallbackAction,    SoGetBoundingBoxAction,    SoHandleEventAction,
       SoRayPickAction
          Sets the viewport and camera information in the state.
