Parameters
- left
 Type: System.Single
 Minimum x-value of the view volume.
- right
 Type: System.Single
 Maximum x-value of the view volume.
- bottom
 Type: System.Single
 Minimum y-value of the view volume.
- top
 Type: System.Single
 Maximum y-value 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.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Matrix
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.
