def transformations::Arcball::down	(	self,
		point
	)

Set initial cursor window coordinates and pick constrain-axis.

Definition at line 1435 of file transformations.py.

def transformations::Arcball::drag	(	self,
		point
	)

Update current cursor window coordinates.

Definition at line 1446 of file transformations.py.

def transformations::Arcball::getconstrain ( self )
