## Detailed Description

The QAbstractCameraController class provides basic functionality for camera controllers.

QAbstractCameraController sets up and handles input from keyboard, mouse, and other devices. QAbstractCameraController is an abstract class and cannot itself be instantiated. It provides a standard interface for camera controllers.

Derived classes need only implement the frameActionTriggered() method to move the camera.

## Property Documentation

### acceleration : float

Holds the current acceleration of the camera controller.

Access functions:

float | acceleration() const
void | setAcceleration(float acceleration)

Notifier signal:

void | accelerationChanged(float acceleration)

### camera : Qt3DRender::QCamera*

Holds the currently controlled camera.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QCamera * | camera() const
void | setCamera(Qt3DRender::QCamera *camera)

Notifier signal:

void | cameraChanged()

### deceleration : float

Holds the current deceleration of the camera controller.

Access functions:

float | deceleration() const
void | setDeceleration(float deceleration)

Notifier signal:

void | decelerationChanged(float deceleration)

### linearSpeed : float

Holds the current linear speed of the camera controller. Linear speed determines the movement speed of the camera.

The default is `10.0`.

Access functions:

float | linearSpeed() const
void | setLinearSpeed(float linearSpeed)

Notifier signal:

void | linearSpeedChanged()

### lookSpeed : float

Holds the current look speed of the camera controller. The look speed determines the turn rate of the camera pan and tilt.

The default is `180.0`.

Access functions:

float | lookSpeed() const
void | setLookSpeed(float lookSpeed)

Notifier signal:

void | lookSpeedChanged()

## Member Function Documentation

### `[protected]` QAbstractCameraController::QAbstractCameraController(Qt3DCore::QNode *parent = nullptr)

Default constructs an instance of QAbstractCameraController.

### `[virtual]` QAbstractCameraController::~QAbstractCameraController()

Destroys the instance of QAbstractCameraController. The destructor is virtual.

### `[protected]` Qt3DInput::QKeyboardDevice *QAbstractCameraController::keyboardDevice() const

Provides access to the keyboard device.

### `[protected]` Qt3DInput::QMouseDevice *QAbstractCameraController::mouseDevice() const

Provides access to the mouse device.
