Parameters

MOut
D3DMATRIX type that is the result of the operation, a customized, left-handed orthogonal projection matrix.
l
Minimum x-value of view-volume.
r
Maximum x-value of view-volume.
b
Maximum y-value of view-volume.
t
Minimum y-value of view-volume.
zn
Minimum z-value of the view volume.
zf
Maximum z-value of the view volume.

Error Codes

If the function fails, an error is raised and Err.Number can be set to one of the following values.

D3DERR_INVALIDCALL
D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY

For information on trapping errors, see the Microsoft® Visual Basic® Error Handling topic.

Remarks

An orthogonal matrix is an invertible matrix for which the inverse of the matrix is equal to the transpose of the matrix.

The D3DXMatrixOrthoLH function is a special case of the D3DXMatrixOrthoOffCenterLH function. To create the same projection using D3DXMatrixOrthoOffCenterLH, use the following values: l = -w/2, r = w/2, b = -h/2, and t = h/2.

All the parameters of the D3DXMatrixOrthoOffCenterLH function are distances in camera-space. The parameters describe the dimensions of the view-volume.
