Defines a viewing transformation by giving the viewing position and the coordinates of a reference point in the scene.

Parameters

view_x: x-coordinate for the viewing position
view_y: y-coordinate for the viewing position
view_z: z-coordinate for the viewing position
reference_x: x-coordinate for the reference point
reference_y: y-coordinate for the reference point
reference_z: z-coordinate for the reference point
twist: Controls the rotation along with viewer's z axis.

Return Values
