  - finalize
```
protected void finalize()
                 throws Throwable
```
    Description copied from class: java.lang.Object
    
    Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.
    The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java™ virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.
    The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.
    The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
    After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.
    The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.
    Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.
    
    Overrides:
    
    finalize in class Object
    
    Throws:
    
    Throwable - the Exception raised by this method

```
public final void setFarNearPlaneRatio(double value)
```

    Returns the distance that the Camera's Position should be from the ReferencePoint in order to ensure that a sphere with a 1 meter radius centered at the ReferencePoint fits entirely in the view frustum.

```
public final CameraSnapshot getSnapshot()

    Gets the camera snapshot settings.
  - getVideoRecording
```
public final CameraVideoRecording getVideoRecording()
```
    Gets the camera video recorder.
  - getPixelSizePerDistance
```
public final double getPixelSizePerDistance()
```
    Gets the approximate number of meters covered by a pixel that is 1 meter away from the camera. This is commonly multiplied by the distance from the camera to an object to compute the approximate number of meters covered by a pixel of the object.
    Example 1:
    
    Assume PixelSizePerDistance is 0.001. This means at 1 meter away, the size of a pixel is 0.001 meters. Therefore, the size of 1 pixel at 2,000 meters away is:
    
    2,000 meters * 0.001 (meters / pixel / meters) = 2 meters/pixel
    
    Example 2:
    
    Assume PixelSizePerDistance is 0.001. This means at 1 meter away, the size of a pixel is 0.001 meters. The diameter, in pixels, of a sphere 2,000 meters away that has a diameter of 10 meters is:
    
    10 meters / (2,000 meters * 0.001 (meters / pixel / meters)) = 5 pixels
    
    PixelSizePerDistance is accurate for a pixel in the center of the window. Accuracy decreases slightly the farther off center a pixel is and the wider the camera's field of view is.

  - getReferencePointReferenceFrame
```
public final ReferenceFrame getReferencePointReferenceFrame()
```

  - refreshEvaluators
```
public final void refreshEvaluators()
```
    Refreshes all evaluators for the axes, points, or vectors that are used in the current camera view. This should be called if the axes, points, or vectors are changed. If you find yourself calling this frequently, consider using the Position and Direction properties instead of methods taking axes, points, and vectors. For more information on evaluators, see the overview topic on Evaluators and Evaluator Groups topic.

```
    Sets the camera's reference point - the point the camera is looking at. The camera's position is the reference point translated by the direction vector.
    
    Parameters:
    
    referencePoint - The Point that will be evaluated at the animation time to get ReferencePoint (get).
    
    direction - The Vector that will be evaluated at the animation time to get the direction to offset the camera position. This will be equivalent to the negative of Direction (get).
    
    upAxis - The up direction in axes.
    
    axes - The Axes of rotation. Axes (get) will be set to this.
  - viewOffsetDirection
