Examples
Attributes
camera [3 floats]
Camera position
drawto [symbol]
The named drawing context in which to draw (default = none) A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.window, jit.pwindow, or jit.matrix object.
erase_color [4 floats]
The context RBGA erase color (default = 0.2 0.2 0.2 1)
far_clip [float]
Far clipping plane distance
high_res [int]7.0.0
Enable high resolution accelerated drawing on supported high DPI Retina devices (default = 0) (Mac only).
lens_angle [float]
Camera lens angle
light_ambient [4 floats]
Ambient lighting color
light_diffuse [4 floats]
Diffuse lighting color
light_global_ambient [4 floats]
Global ambient lighting color
light_position [4 floats]
Light position
light_specular [4 floats]
Specular lighting color
lookat [3 floats]
Camera lookat position
near_clip [float]
Near clipping plane distance
point_atten [3 floats]
Point attenuation factor for point sprites
point_fade [float]
Point fade threshold for point sprites
rotate_order [symbol]
Set the order rotations are applied for the rotatexyz attribute for all child gl objects (default = auto). E.G. if set to xyz , the object is first rotated around its X axis, then Y, and finally Z. The default of auto implements yzx ordering. To replicate Max 5, use zyx .
Possible values:
'auto'
'xyz'
'xzy'
'yxz'
'yzx'
'zxy'
'zyx'
up [3 floats]
Camera up vector
verbose [int]
Enable printing messages to the Max Console
