An orthographic projection maps part of our 3D world onto the screen, and it does so in a way such that everything appears the same size, no matter how near or far it is. For this reason, this type of projection is great for doing 2D games and art.

The following is a basic definition of an orthographic projection matrix:
Given this matrix, all coordinates between left and right, bottom and top, and near and far will be mapped into normalized device coordinates, and anything within this ...
