Hi,
You can compute this for a given molecule by transforming the
default view direction { 0 0 -1 } by the inverse of the molecule's
rotation matrix:
set R [lindex [molinfo top get rotate_matrix] 0]
set viewdir [coordtrans [measure inverse $R] {0 0 -1}]
You can similarly compute the position of the camera in molecule
coordinates by applying the right transformations to the original
camera position in world coordinates.
Cheers,
John
