Just to specify the location of the camera ?

(Since the above post -cla has been added to function as a look_at.dat)

After reading your post, I use the 2nd approach (the view pyramid) to  specify
the location and orientation of the camera.  Here's the file I use (the
cylinder is just a placeholder):

0 POV-Ray Camera Shortcut

Nice looking camera. And good idea with a cameraman.
Your camera has a lens angle of 44 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3/2.
How should L3P extract that information?
Perhaps by putting the pyramid into a subfile,
then L3P can calculate the bounding box of that.

Shouldn't the pyramid be very large, so that you can place the camera
for large models too?

I would leave out the cylinder.
