pygfx.cameras.OrthographicCamera¶

class pygfx.cameras.OrthographicCamera(width=1, height=1, *, zoom=1, maintain_aspect=True, depth_range=None)¶

An orthographic camera, useful for orthograpic views and 2D content.

Technically, this is a PerspectiveCamera with the fov locked to zero.

Parameters:

width (float) – The (minimum) width of the view-cube. The actual view may be wider if the viewport is relatively wide.
height (float) – The (minimum) height of the view-cube. The actual view may be taller if the viewport is relatively high.
zoom (float) – An additional zoom factor, equivalent to attaching a zoom lens.
maintain_aspect (bool) – Whether the aspect ration is maintained as the window size changes. Default True. If false, the dimensions are stretched to fit the window.
depth_range (2-tuple) – The values for the near and far clipping planes. If not given or None, the clip planes will be calculated automatically based on the fov, width, and height.
