   public CameraAuxiliary() 

Default constructor

   public static void lookAt(camera cam, 
                             Vector3D eye, 
                             Vector3D center, 
                             Vector3D up) 

The lookAt static method operates in a manner nearly identical to the OpenGL gluLookAt function (OpenGL Programming Guide, Chapter 3, pp 87-88). in that it specifys a camera transform by an eye position, a center of interest, and a camera up vector. For information on how this works, see the Tmatrix internal documentation, the OpenGL Programming guide, and Foley, vanDam, et. all "Computer Graphics." :^)
