Change camera to Orthographic camera.

[swapnil]

How to change to an orthographic camera using python scripting. Searched through the documentation but couldn't find any relevant docs.

..Like for Lscript using the 'pris' commandinput
lwsdk.pris.layout.cs.commandinput(command)
In Layout you have also a button for exporting all the available command in a text file.

I prefer to avoid the pris module altogether, its mostly unnecessary for use with python.

Instead, you can achieve this with 2 lines of code.

import lwsdk
lwsdk.command("TopView")

Replace "TopView" with your preferred orthographic angle.

EDIT: I realize you might have been referring to the *type* of camera, not the viewport. I'm not aware of a command that lets you change the camera type directly and I don't see anything in the C documentation which references that you can do anything with the camera type or the properties specific to that type (if applicable). You might need to use a template object using load from scene as an alternative.

This is what I would suggest..
