ortho()

ortho()#

Sets an orthographic projection and defines a parallel clipping volume.

Examples#

example picture for ortho()

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P3D)
    py5.no_fill()
    py5.ortho(-py5.width//2, py5.width//2,
              -py5.height // 2, py5.height//2)  # same as ortho()
    py5.translate(py5.width//2, py5.height//2, 0)
    py5.rotate_x(-py5.PI/6)
    py5.rotate_y(py5.PI/3)
    py5.box(45)

Description#

Sets an orthographic projection and defines a parallel clipping volume. All objects with the same dimension appear the same size, regardless of whether they are near or far from the camera. The parameters to this function specify the clipping volume where left and right are the minimum and maximum x values, top and bottom are the minimum and maximum y values, and near and far are the minimum and maximum z values. If no parameters are given, the default is used: ortho(-width/2, width/2, -height/2, height/2).

Underlying Processing method: ortho

Signatures#

ortho() -> None

ortho(
    left: float,  # left plane of the clipping volume
    right: float,  # right plane of the clipping volume
    bottom: float,  # bottom plane of the clipping volume
    top: float,  # top plane of the clipping volume
    /,
) -> None

ortho(
    left: float,  # left plane of the clipping volume
    right: float,  # right plane of the clipping volume
    bottom: float,  # bottom plane of the clipping volume
    top: float,  # top plane of the clipping volume
    near: float,  # distance from the viewer to the nearest clipping plane
    far: float,  # distance from the viewer to the farthest clipping plane
    /,
