update_operation(self, context)[source]#

Update the camera operation based on the current context.

This function retrieves the active camera operation from the Blender context and updates it using the updateRest function. It accesses the active operation from the scene’s camera operations and passes the current context to the updating function.

Parameters:: context – The context in which the operation is being updated.
