3d translate() (Read 723 times)

3d translate()
Jul 15th, 2009, 3:51pm  
I have some data that I want to plot which is not centered at all.  I can easily move the data to the center of the screen by calculating its center on the x and y direction and calling translate((getWidth()/2.0)-meanx, (getHeight()/2.0)-meany, z).  However, I'm having a lot of trouble getting the data zoomed properly with the third parameter of translate().  I can calculate the max/min x value and max/min y value of the data that I want to plot... but how do I set the z value of translate() so that everything is just within view?

Thanks!

Translate has an x,y,z.  translate(x, y, z);  You may also want to take a look at perspective().

A nice library to consider that can easily set distance is peasycam.
