CZML Camera ViewFrom
- "viewFrom":
{ "cartesian": [x, y, z] } — a suggested initial camera position offset (in
meters) when tracking this entity, typically in the entity's own East (x), North (y), Up (z)
frame. E.g. [0, -20000, 20000] looks at the entity from 20km back and 20km up.
- Add "viewFrom" whenever the intent describes tracking, following, or viewing an entity from a
specific offset/distance/angle.
Example: a point entity with a fixed tracking offset
