+ The |view| is computed as follows. The view is defined by two rotations: the first rotation uses the \meta{azimuth} angle to rotate around the $z$ axis. Afterwards, the view is rotated \meta{elevation} degrees around the \emph{rotated} $x$ axis (more precisely, it is rotated $-$\meta{elevation} degrees). The resulting transformed $x$--$z$--plane is the viewport, i.e.\ the view direction is always the transformed positive $y$ axis.
+
+ The |view| argument is assignment compatible with matlab (tm), i.e.\ you can use
+
+ |[h,v] = view|
+
+ \noindent in matlab and pack the resulting arguments into \PGFPlots\footnote{In case it does not work, try \texttt{h} and \texttt{-v} in \PGFPlots.}.
+
+ If you work with |gnuplot|, you can convert the view arguments as follows: the |gnuplot| command
+
+ |set view v,h|
+
+ \noindent is \emph{equivalent} to |view={h}{90-v}|. For example, the default |gnuplot| configuration |set view 60,60| is equivalent to |view={60}{30}| in \PGFPlots.
+
+ The |view| is (currently) always an orthogonal projection, no perspective is possible, yet.
