Heading, Pitch and Roll are used to describe the viewing direction in a 3D view. Sometimes referred to as Yaw, Heading defines the angle of the camera rotating around the Z-axis. Imagine yourself as the camera. In this case adjusting the heading would be equivalent to looking to the left or right. The valid range for heading is -180 to 180 which are equal looking south. A value of 0 is looking north.
Heading is the one viewing direction property that is also used in 2D view. In a 2D view Heading determines and will determine the rotation of the view.
public Task<bool> RotateView(double heading) { //Get the active map view. var mapView = MapView.Active; if (mapView == null) return Task.FromResult(false); //Get the camera for the view, adjust the heading and zoom to the new camera position. var camera = mapView.Camera; camera.Heading = heading; return mapView.ZoomToAsync(camera, TimeSpan.Zero); } // or use the synchronous method public Task<bool> RotateViewAsync(double heading) { return QueuedTask.Run(() => { //Get the active map view. var mapView = MapView.Active; if (mapView == null) return false; //Get the camera for the view, adjust the heading and zoom to the new camera position. var camera = mapView.Camera; camera.Heading = heading; return mapView.ZoomTo(camera, TimeSpan.Zero); }); }
