Dynamic Viewing (Using the Mouse to Change Views)

"Dynamic" viewing is the name given to the process in which you perform viewing transformations by moving the mouse around the screen. This is the final, and probably most useful, way of controlling views described in this section.

The three classes of transformation available in the compass rose (rotation, translation and scaling) are all available in dynamic viewing as well. However rotation and translation are only available in "screen" space: it would be too confusing to try to relate cursor movement to "model" space transformations.
