Matrix.CreatePerspective Method (Single, Single, Single, Single, Matrix)

Builds a perspective projection matrix and returns the result by reference.

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Sub CreatePerspective ( _
         width As Single, _
         height As Single, _
         nearPlaneDistance As Single, _
         farPlaneDistance As Single, _
         out result As Matrix _
)

public static void CreatePerspective (
         float width,
         float height,
         float nearPlaneDistance,
         float farPlaneDistance,
         out Matrix result
)

public:
static void CreatePerspective(
         float width,
         float height,
         float nearPlaneDistance,
         float farPlaneDistance,
         out Matrix result
)

Parameters

• width
  Type: Single
  Width of the view volume at the near view plane.
• height
  Type: Single
  Height of the view volume at the near view plane.
• nearPlaneDistance
  Type: Single
  Distance to the near view plane.
• farPlaneDistance
  Type: Single
  Distance to the far view plane.
• result
  Type: Matrix
  [OutAttribute] The projection matrix.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	One of the following conditions is true: nearPlaneDistance or farPlaneDistance is a negative value. Specify a positive value for nearPlaneDistance or farPlaneDistance. nearPlaneDistance is larger than farPlaneDistance. nearPlaneDistance must be smaller than farPlaneDistance.

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 a z-coordinate ranging from 0 to 1.

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.
