Finally, if a center of rotation is being used, the view is translated back to the origin it had upon entering the function. Although this is logically a four step process, only the final result appears in the graphics window.

In batch mode, the scale and rotation of the view are modified, but no display occurs.

Fourth, the rotation occurs about the center of rotation. Finally, if a center of rotation is being used, the view is translated back to its origin as specified by the first argument. Although this is logically a five step process, only the final result appears in the graphics window.

ZoomByRectangle¶

View.ZoomByRectangle¶

Scales the specified view such that the specified rectangle is as large as possible while being fully contained within the viewport.

If the rectangle and the viewport do not have the same aspect ratio, the viewport will contain some of the view not within the rectangle. If the rectangle is extremely small or extremely large, a minimum or maximum scale will be used. These are the same minimum and maximum values as used interactively. The two opposite corners of the rectangle are given in View Space. The view must already be displayed. If enabled, the change in the bounds of the view is animated.

In batch mode, the scale and translation of the view are modified, but no display occurs.

Signature ZoomByRectangle(corner1, corner2)

Parameters:	corner1 (`NXOpen.Point3d`) – One corner of the rectangle, in View Space corner2 (`NXOpen.Point3d`) – The opposite corner of the rectangle, in View Space
