D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH

Builds a left-handed perspective projection matrix based on a field of view.

D3DXMATRIX * D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(
  D3DXMATRIX * pOut,
  FLOAT fovy,
  FLOAT Aspect,
  FLOAT zn,
  FLOAT zf
);

Parameters

pOut

[in, out] Pointer to the D3DXMATRIX structure that is the result of the operation.

fovy

[in] Field of view in the y direction, in radians.

Aspect

[in] Aspect ratio, defined as view space width divided by height.

zn

[in] Z-value of the near view-plane.

zf

[in] Z-value of the far view-plane.

Return Values

Pointer to a D3DXMATRIX structure that is a left-handed perspective projection matrix.

Remarks

The return value for this function is the same value returned in the pOut parameter. In this way, the D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH function can be used as a parameter for another function.

This function computes the returned matrix as shown:

xScale     0          0               0
0        yScale       0               0
0          0       zf/(zf-zn)         1
0          0       -zn*zf/(zf-zn)     0
where:
yScale = cot(fovY/2)

xScale = yScale / aspect ratio

Requirements

Header: Declared in D3dx9math.h.
