Direct Known Subclasses:

PinholeCamera

public class OrthographicCamera
extends Object
implements Camera

The OrthographicCamera class provides an orthographic porjection camera. The camera location is, as expected, the location from which the camera views, represented as a vector. This value is by default at the origin. The viewing direction is a vector that represents the direction the camera is viewing. This value is by default aligned to the positive Z axis, or (0.0, 0.0, 1.0). The up direction is a vector that represents the orientation of the camera's "up." This value is by default aligned with the positive y axis or (0.0, 1.0, 0.0). The projection dimensions of the camera are the dimensions of the viewing plane.
