Class: OrthographicFrustum

OrthographicFrustum

new OrthographicFrustum()

The viewing frustum is defined by 6 planes. Each plane is represented by a Cartesian4 object, where the x, y, and z components define the unit vector normal to the plane, and the w component is the distance of the plane from the origin/camera position.

Example
var maxRadii = ellipsoid.maximumRadius;

var frustum = new Cesium.OrthographicFrustum();
frustum.right = maxRadii * Cesium.Math.PI;
frustum.left = -c.frustum.right;
frustum.top = c.frustum.right * (canvas.clientHeight / canvas.clientWidth);
frustum.bottom = -c.frustum.top;
frustum.near = 0.01 * maxRadii;
frustum.far = 50.0 * maxRadii;

Methods

clone(resultopt) → {OrthographicFrustum}

Returns a duplicate of a OrthographicFrustum instance.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
result OrthographicFrustum <optional>
 The object onto which to store the result.
Source:
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new PerspectiveFrustum instance if one was not provided.
Type
OrthographicFrustum

computeCullingVolume(position, direction, up) → {CullingVolume}

Creates a culling volume for this frustum.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
position Cartesian3 The eye position.
direction Cartesian3 The view direction.
up Cartesian3 The up direction.
Source:
Returns:
A culling volume at the given position and orientation.
Type
CullingVolume
Example
// Check if a bounding volume intersects the frustum.
var cullingVolume = frustum.computeCullingVolume(cameraPosition, cameraDirection, cameraUp);
var intersect = cullingVolume.computeVisibility(boundingVolume);

equals(otheropt) → {Boolean}

Compares the provided OrthographicFrustum componentwise and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
other OrthographicFrustum <optional>
 The right hand side OrthographicFrustum.
Source:
Returns:
true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Type
Boolean

getPixelDimensions(drawingBufferWidth, drawingBufferHeight, distance, result) → {Cartesian2}

Returns the pixel's width and height in meters.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
drawingBufferWidth Number The width of the drawing buffer.
drawingBufferHeight Number The height of the drawing buffer.
distance Number The distance to the near plane in meters.
result Cartesian2 The object onto which to store the result.
Source:
Throws:
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance of Cartesian2 with the pixel's width and height in the x and y properties, respectively.
Type
Cartesian2
Example
// Example 1
// Get the width and height of a pixel.
var pixelSize = camera.frustum.getPixelDimensions(scene.drawingBufferWidth, scene.drawingBufferHeight, 0.0, new Cesium.Cartesian2());
