DoView − Create a view organizational object

SYNOPSIS

C:

DtObject DoView()

Fortran:

DESCRIPTION

DoView creates a new view.  A view is an organizational object that describes a scene. 

A view contains a display group and a definition group.  The display group contains all of the objects to be displayed when the view is updated.  The definition group contains the available cameras that view the scene and the available lights that illuminate it.  In addition, views also contain attributes that affect aspects of the final images.  These aspects are:

The active camera, one of the cameras in the definition group

The background color

The clear flag, whether to clear to background before rendering

The render style

The view boundary, in frame coordinates
