`Viewscale`

  Get the view scale.

`base2local`

  Get the conversion factor from base units (mm) to local units.

`toViewcenter`

  Get the matrix that describes the location of the view center.

`Viewrot`

  Get the matrix that describes the view orientation.

`model2view`

  Get the model to view conversion matrix.

`view2model`

  Get the view to model conversion matrix.

`model2objview`

`help`

  Print the usage message.

## EXAMPLES

The three examples show the use of the `status` command with and without subcommands.

mged>`status`

Gets default information (i.e., state, view size, local2base, toViewcenter, Viewrot, model2view and view2model).

### Get the view rotation matrix.

mged>`status Viewrot`
