 I am trying to get the fov:

BaseDraw* editor = doc->GetActiveBaseDraw();
if (!editor)
       return false;
  m_camera= editor->GetSceneCamera(doc);

BaseContainer *data = m_camera->GetDataInstance();

Real fov_h=data->GetReal (CAMERAOBJECT_FOV);
  Real fov_v=data->GetReal (CAMERAOBJECT_FOV_VERTICAL);

but fov_h, fov_v is always==0. What could I be doing wrong?

Edit: I seem to have worked out what to do to get the fov.

I would also like to get hold of the clipping planes and frustum (as in OGL) is are these values available somewhere?

So, how did you get the FOV?

basically

GeData fov_h;
  m_camera->GetParameter(DescID(CAMERAOBJECT_FOV), fov_h, (DTYPE_REAL, DESCFLAGS_GET_0));

you have to calculate the view cone by yourself.  it is pretty simple math.

How does this work for parallel projections?

Sorry, how does that related to the frustum?

It doesn't, as a parallel camera doesn't have a frustum.
You work with the zoom for coverage where the base 1024
is a zoom of 1.

I see, so the width of the world that I can see in the view is 1024 units
