Matrix.CreateOrthographic Method (Single, Single, Single, Single, Matrix%)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Builds an orthogonal projection matrix.
Namespace: Microsoft.Xna.Framework
Assembly: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Math (in Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Math.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Sub CreateOrthographic ( _
width As Single, _
height As Single, _
zNearPlane As Single, _
zFarPlane As Single, _
<OutAttribute> ByRef result As Matrix _
)
public static void CreateOrthographic(
float width,
float height,
float zNearPlane,
float zFarPlane,
out Matrix result
)
Parameters
- width
Type: System.Single
Width of the view volume.
- height
Type: System.Single
Height of the view volume.
- zNearPlane
Type: System.Single
Minimum z-value of the view volume.
- zFarPlane
Type: System.Single
Maximum z-value of the view volume.
- result
Type: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Matrix%
[OutAttribute] The projection matrix.
Remarks
Projection space refers to the space after applying projection transformation from view space. After the projection transformation, visible content has x and y coordinates ranging from -1 to 1, and z coordinates ranging from 0 to 1.
Unlike perspective projection, in orthographic projection there is no perspective foreshortening.
The viewable area of this orthographic projection is centered on 0,0,0. The x-axis of the area ranges from -width/2 to width/2. The y-axis of the area ranges from -height/2 to height/2. The z-axis of the area ranges from zNearPlane to zFarPlane. These values are relative to the position and x, y, and z-axes of the view.
To obtain the viewable area (in world space) of a scene, create a BoundingFrustum and pass the combined view and projection matrix to the constructor.
