.. _vport_table_internals:
VPORT Configuration Table
=========================
The `VPORT`_ table stores the modelspace viewport configurations. A viewport configuration
is a tiled view of multiple viewports or just one viewport.
.. image:: gfx/tiled_view.png
:align: center
In contrast to other tables the VPORT table can have multiple entries with the same name,
because all VPORT entries of a multi-viewport configuration are having the same name -
the viewport configuration name. The name of the actual displayed viewport configuration
is ``'*ACTIVE'``, as always table entry names are case insensitive
(:code:`'*ACTIVE' == '*Active'`).
The available display area in AutoCAD has normalized coordinates, the lower-left corner
is (0, 0) and the upper-right corner is (1, 1) regardless of the true aspect ratio and
available display area in pixels. A single viewport configuration has one VPORT entry
``'*ACTIVE'`` with the lower-left corner (0, 0) and the upper-right corner (1, 1).
The following statements refer to a 2D plan view: the view-target-point defines the
origin of the DCS (Display Coordinate system), the view-direction vector defines the
z-axis of the :ref:`DCS`, the view-center-point (in DCS) defines the point in modelspace
translated to the center point of the viewport, the view height and the aspect-ratio
defines how much of the modelspace is displayed. AutoCAD tries to fit the modelspace
area into the available viewport space e.g. view height is 15 units and aspect-ratio is
2.0 the modelspace to display is 30 units wide and 15 units high, if the viewport has an
aspect ratio of 1.0, AutoCAD displays 30x30 units of the modelspace in the viewport.
If the modelspace aspect-ratio is 1.0 the modelspace to display is 15x15 units and fits
properly into the viewport area.
But tests show that the translation of the view-center-point to the middle of the
viewport not always work as I expected. (still digging...)
.. note::
All floating point values are rounded to 2 decimal places for better readability.
