Class Camera

The Camera Data object

This object gives access to Camera-specific data in Blender.

Warning: Most member variables assume values in some [Min, Max] interval. When trying to set them, the given parameter will be clamped to lie in that range: if val < Min, then val = Min, if val > Max, then val = Max.

Instance Variable Details

fakeUser

When set to True, this datablock wont be removed, even if nothing is using it. All data has this disabled by default except for Actions.
Type:
bool

ipo

The "camera data" ipo linked to this camera data object. Set to None to clear the ipo.
Type:
Blender Ipo

lib

path to the blend file this datablock is stored in (readonly).

lib will be None unless you are using external blend files with (File, Append/Link)

Note: the path may be relative, to get the full path use Blender.sys.expandpath
Type:
string or None

name

unique name within each blend file.

The name is case sensitive and 21 characters maximum length.

Note: a blend file may have naming collisions when external library data is used, be sure to check the value of lib.

Note: Setting a value longer then 21 characters will be shortened
Type:
string

tag

A temporary tag that to flag data as being used within a loop. always set all tags to True or False before using since blender uses this flag for its own internal operations.
