Detailed description
This call is the equivalent of calling both the SetEye and SetTarget calls.
The Eye and Target are used to calculate the camera coordinates. The orientation of the camera is calculated by taking the up-vector of the Eye position and rotating this to look at the target. If the up-vector is parallel to the vector from the eye to target, an orthogonal vector is chosen as up.
