pyvista.Camera.tight

Camera.tight(padding=0.0, adjust_render_window=True, view='xy', negative=False)

Adjust the camera position so that the actors fill the entire renderer.

The camera view direction is reoriented to be normal to the view plane. When negative=False, The first letter of view refers to the axis that points to the right. The second letter of view refers to axis that points up. When negative=True, the first letter refers to the axis that points left. The up direction is unchanged.

Parallel projection is enabled when using this function.
