Remarks

Matrix3DProjection is a wrapper class around a Matrix3D.

You need to provide a three-dimensional (3-D) transform matrix that goes from object space (UIElement space) to homogeneous screen space, and the system implicitly does the perspective divide on resulting coordinates.

You can use the Matrix3DProjection and Matrix3D types for more complex semi–3-D scenarios than are possible with the PlaneProjection. Matrix3DProjection provides you with a complete 3-D transform matrix to apply to any UIElement so that you can apply arbitrary model transformation matrices and perspective matrices to XAML UI elements.

Because these APIs are minimal, if you use them, you need to write the code that correctly creates the 3-D transform matrices. Therefore, it is easier to use PlaneProjection for most 3-D scenarios.

To use Matrix3DProjection, you need to use standard 3-D transformation matrices. For more information about how to construct and use these 3-D matrices, refer to the DirectX documentation. Functions of particular note to users of Matrix3DProjection are the standard translate, scale, rotate, and perspective matrices.

Examples

The following example uses a simple Matrix3D matrix to transform the image in the X and Y directions when you tap the image.

<!-- When you click on the image, the projection is applied. -->
<Image MouseLeftButtonDown="ApplyProjection" x:Name="BeachImage" Source="guy_by_the_beach.jpg"
       Width="200"/>

You can also apply a Matrix3DProjection to an object by using XAML. The following example shows how to apply the same transform as in the previous example but uses XAML instead of procedural code:

<Image Source="guy_by_the_beach.jpg" Width="200">
    <Image.Projection>
        <Matrix3DProjection  ProjectionMatrix="1, 0, 0, 0,
                                              0, 1, 0, 0,
                                              0, 0, 1, 0,
                                              100, 100, 0, 1"/>
    </Image.Projection>
</Image>

You can multiply matrices together to create more complex effects. The following example uses several Matrix3D matrices that apply a 3-D transform to an image when you tap the image.

<!-- When you click on the image, the projection is applied. -->
<Image MouseLeftButtonDown="ApplyProjection" x:Name="BeachImage" Source="guy_by_the_beach.jpg" 
       Width="200"/>

private void ApplyProjection(Object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    // Translate the image along the negative Z-axis such that it occupies 50% of the
    // vertical field of view.
    double fovY = Math.PI / 2.0;
    double translationZ = -BeachImage.ActualHeight / Math.Tan(fovY / 2.0);
    double theta = 20.0 * Math.PI / 180.0;

    // You can create a 3D effect by creating a number of simple 
    // tranformation Matrix3D matrixes and then multiply them together.
    Matrix3D centerImageAtOrigin = TranslationTransform(
             -BeachImage.ActualWidth / 2.0,
             -BeachImage.ActualHeight / 2.0, 0);
    Matrix3D invertYAxis = CreateScaleTransform(1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
    Matrix3D rotateAboutY = RotateYTransform(theta);
    Matrix3D translateAwayFromCamera = TranslationTransform(0, 0, translationZ);
    Matrix3D perspective = PerspectiveTransformFovRH(fovY,
            LayoutRoot.ActualWidth / LayoutRoot.ActualHeight,   // aspect ratio
            1.0,                                                // near plane
            1000.0);                                            // far plane
    Matrix3D viewport = ViewportTransform(LayoutRoot.ActualWidth, LayoutRoot.ActualHeight);

    Matrix3D m = centerImageAtOrigin * invertYAxis;
