VIEWMODE system variable

View mode

Specifies the current viewport's View mode. The value is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the values of all selected options. If 'Front clip not at eye' (16) is on, the front clip distance (FRONTZ) sets the front clipping plane. If off, the front clipping plane passes through the camera point (vectors behind the camera are not displayed). This flag is ignored if the front-clipping bit (2) is off.
