# traverse the whole range, the maximum FOV is fixed at 120 degrees,

# Saves/restores/moves the view point (position, orientation, field-of-view).
# Moves are interpolated with sinusoidal characteristic. There's only one
# instance of this class, available as "view.point".
#
# Usage:
#    view.point.save();        ... save current view and return reference to
#                                  saved values in the form of a props.Node
#
#    view.point.restore();     ... restore saved view parameters
#
#    view.point.move(<prop> [, <time>]);
#                              ... set view parameters from a props.Node with
#                                  optional move time in seconds. <prop> may be
#                                  nil, in which case nothing happens.
#
# A parameter set as expected by set() and returned by save() is a props.Node
# object containing any (or none) of these children:
#
#   <heading-offset-deg>
#   <pitch-offset-deg>
#   <roll-offset-deg>
#   <x-offset-m>
#   <y-offset-m>
#   <z-offset-m>
#   <field-of-view>
#   <move-time-sec>
#
# The <move-time> isn't really a property of the view, but is available
# for convenience. The time argument in the move() method overrides it.
