public:
static void CreateOrthographicOffCenter(
         float left,
         float right,
         float bottom,

         float zFarPlane,
         out Matrix result
)

Parameters

• left
  Type: Single
  Minimum x-value of the view volume.
• right
  Type: Single
  Maximum x-value of the view volume.
• bottom
  Type: Single
  Minimum y-value of the view volume.
• top
  Type: Single
  Maximum y-value of the view volume.
• zNearPlane
  Type: Single
  Minimum z-value of the view volume.
• zFarPlane
  Type: Single
  Maximum z-value of the view volume.
• result
  Type: 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 extends from left to right on the x-axis, bottom to top on the y-axis, and zNearPlane to zFarPlane on the z-axis. 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.
