[name]

This helps with visualizing what a camera contains in its frustum.
It visualizes the frustum of a camera using a [page:LineSegments].

Code Example


const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000 );
const helper = new THREE.CameraHelper( camera );
scene.add( helper );

Examples

[example:webgl_camera WebGL / camera]
[example:webgl_geometry_extrude_splines WebGL / extrude / splines]

Constructor

[name]( [param:Camera camera] )

[page:Camera camera] -- The camera to visualize.

This create a new [Name] for the specified camera.

Properties

See the base [page:LineSegments] class for common properties.

[property:Camera camera]

The camera being visualized.

[property:Object pointMap]

This contains the points used to visualize the camera.

[property:Object matrix]

Reference to the [page:Object3D.matrixWorld camera.matrixWorld].

[property:Object matrixAutoUpdate]

See [page:Object3D.matrixAutoUpdate]. Set to `false` here as the helper is using the camera's [page:Object3D.matrixWorld matrixWorld].

Methods

See the base [page:LineSegments] class for common methods.

[method:undefined dispose]()

Frees the GPU-related resources allocated by this instance. Call this method whenever this instance is no longer used in your app.

[method:this setColors]( [param:Color frustum], [param:Color cone], [param:Color up], [param:Color target], [param:Color cross] )

Defines the colors of the helper.

[method:undefined update]()

Updates the helper based on the projectionMatrix of the camera.
