  Version: 
add([x], [y], [width], [height], [makeMain], [name])

Description:

Adds a new Camera into the Camera Manager. The Camera Manager can support up to 31 different Cameras.

Each Camera has its own viewport, which controls the size of the Camera and its position within the canvas.

Use the Camera.scrollX and Camera.scrollY properties to change where the Camera is looking, or the Camera methods such as centerOn. Cameras also have built in special effects, such as fade, flash, shake, pan and zoom.

By default Cameras are transparent and will render anything that they can see based on their scrollX and scrollY values. Game Objects can be set to be ignored by a Camera by using the Camera.ignore method.

The Camera will have its roundPixels property set to whatever CameraManager.roundPixels is. You can change it after creation if required.

See the Camera class documentation for more details.
