D3DXMatrixPerspective

The D3DXMatrixPerspective function builds a right-handed perspective projection matrix

D3DXMATRIX* D3DXMatrixPerspective(
  D3DXMATRIX* pOut,
  float w,
  float h,
  float zn,
  float zf
); 

Parameters

pOut

A pointer to the D3DXMATRIX structure that is the result of the operation.

w

The width of the view-volume at the near view-plane.

h

The height of the view-volume at the near view-plane.

zn

The z-value of the near view-plane.

zf

The z-value of the far view-plane.

Return Values

A pointer to a D3DXMATRIX structure that is a right-handed perspective projection matrix.

Remarks

All of the parameters of the D3DXMatrixPerspective function are distances in camera-space. The parameters describe the dimensions of the view-volume.

The return value for this function is the same value returned in the pOut parameter. In this way, the D3DXMatrixPerspective function can be used as a parameter for another function.

The default projection matrix setup by the D3DXCreateContext and D3DXCreateContextEx functions is a left-handed perspective projection with a field-of-view (fov) of pi/2 radians.
