In Mathematica 6, graphics can be parts of arbitrary expressions. So, as I already suggested, type the following around your plot Options[<graphics go here>, ViewPoint] Or if you want to see the ViewPoint value in real-time as the graphics are rotated, use the Dynamic[] method suggested by others. -- Szabolcs
