💅 ZOOM(nged) — a BRL-CAD MGED Commands moment ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

zoom — zoom the view in or out by a scale factor. No cap, that’s literally the whole vibe. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zoom scale_factor

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so zoom does its main-character thing by multiplying the apparent size of displayed objects — technically, it divides the current view scale by the scale_factor you give it. 💅

  • A scale_factor greater than 1 zooms in — objects appear larger. 🔍
  • A scale_factor between 0 and 1 zooms out — objects appear smaller. 🦋

The view scale is clamped at a minimum value to prevent the view from collapsing to zero. scale_factor must be a positive, finite number; values that are zero, negative, or infinite return an error. ⚠️

Exactly one argument is required. Periodt. 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

The example shows the use of the zoom command to reduce the size of the viewing cube by half.

Example 1. Reduce the size of the viewing cube by half.

mged>zoom 2

Reduces the size of the current viewing cube by half (effectively doubling the size of objects in the display). Iconic behavior, honestly. ✨
