A couple questions about the camera

Hello there again folks... this time around i've got a couple questions about the camera.

i already know how to zoom the camera, and how to move it on the X and Y axis... but i've been wondering, is there a way to rotate the camera clock (and counterclock) wise?... i mean, by typin a set of commands, havin the whole scene rotating as a whole?

another question.
the command "startCameraMove" allows me to ... well, move the camera to a target zoom and position, but... is there a way to slowdown or speed up that transition?


thats about it for now... as usual, Thx in advance.

    Looking at the camera related methods on the t2dscenewindow im gonna say no you can't rotate it. Another idea which also fails is rotating the whole t2dscenewindow, since it is a guicontrol which also does not support rotation. But t2dscenewindow::setcamerainterpolationtime/mode will most likely allow you to adjust the speed of interpolation (indirectly by modifying the time).

    Rotating the scene-camera would be a nice addition if you feel like some making some source modifications, like here. I know you didn't mean rotated in same sense, but might get you started.
