D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovRH Function

Builds a right-handed perspective projection matrix based on a field of view.

Syntax

D3DXMATRIX *D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovRH(      

    D3DXMATRIX *pOut,
    FLOAT fovY,
    FLOAT Aspect,
    FLOAT zn,
    FLOAT zf
);

Parameters

pOut
[in, out] Pointer to the D3DXMATRIX structure that is the result of the operation.
fovY
[in] Field of view, in the y direction, in radians.
Aspect
[in] Aspect ratio, defined as view space height divided by width.
zn
[in] Z-value of the near view-plane.
zf
[in] Z-value of the far view-plane.

Return Value

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

Remarks

The return value for this function is the same value returned in the pOut parameter. In this way, the D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovRH function can be used as a parameter for another function.
This function computes the returned matrix as shown.
w       0       0                0
0       h       0                0
0       0       zf/(zn-zf)      -1
0       0       zn*zf/(zn-zf)    0
where:
h is the view space height. It is calculated from 
h = cot(fovY/2);

w is the view space width. It is calculated from
w = h / Aspect.
