A 2d camera plugin for bevy that works with orthographic cameras.

The motivation is that this could be used for something like a map editor for a 2d game.

## Controls

Behaves similarly to common online map applications:

- Click and drag to move the camera
- Scroll to zoom
- Hold keyboard buttons to move the camera

## Usage

Add the plugin to your app

```rust ignore
App::new()
    .add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, PanCamPlugin::default()))
    .run();
```

Add the component to an orthographic camera:

```rust ignore
commands.spawn((
    Camera2d,
    PanCam::default(),
))
```

This is enough to get going with sensible defaults.

Alternatively, set the fields of the `PanCam` component to customize behavior:

```rust ignore
commands.spawn((
    Camera2d,
    PanCam {
        grab_buttons: vec![MouseButton::Left, MouseButton::Middle], // which buttons should drag the camera
        move_keys: DirectionKeys {      // the keyboard buttons used to move the camera
            up:    vec![KeyCode::KeyQ], // initalize the struct like this or use the provided methods for
            down:  vec![KeyCode::KeyW], // common key combinations
            left:  vec![KeyCode::KeyE],
            right: vec![KeyCode::KeyR],
        },
        speed: 400., // the speed for the keyboard movement
        enabled: true, // when false, controls are disabled. See toggle example.
        zoom_to_cursor: true, // whether to zoom towards the mouse or the center of the screen
        min_scale: 1., // prevent the camera from zooming too far in
        max_scale: 40., // prevent the camera from zooming too far out
        min_x: f32::NEG_INFINITY, // minimum x position of the camera window
        max_x: f32::INFINITY, // maximum x position of the camera window
        min_y: f32::NEG_INFINITY, // minimum y position of the camera window
        max_y: f32::INFINITY, // maximum y position of the camera window
    },
));
```

See the [`simple`](./examples/simple.rs) and [`toggle`](./examples/toggle.rs) examples.

## Cargo features

- `bevy_egui` makes pancam cameras not react when the mouse or keyboard focus is on widgets created with [`bevy_egui`](https://github.com/mvlabat/bevy_egui)
