API Reference > imodeljs-common > Views > Frustum Frustum Class The region of physical (3d) space that appears in a view. It forms the field-of-view of a camera. It is stored as 8 points, in Npc order, that must define a truncated pyramid. Methods Name Description constructor(): Frustum Constructor for Frustum. clone(result?: Frustum): Frustum Make a copy of this Frustum. distance(corner1: number, corner2: number): number Get the distance between two corners of this Frustum. equals(rhs: Frustum): boolean Return true if this Frustum is equal to another Frustum fixPointOrder(): void Make sure the frustum point order does not include mirroring. getCenter(): Point3d Get the point at the center of this Frustum (halfway between RightTopFront and LeftBottomRear. getCorner(i: number): Point3d Get a corner Point from this Frustum. getEyePoint(result?: Point3d): undefined | Point3d Get the eye point - undefined if parallel projection getFraction(): number Get the ratio of the length of the diagonal of the front plane to the diagonal of the back plane. getIntersectionWithPlane(plane: Plane3dByOriginAndUnitNormal): undefined | Point3d[] Get a (convex) polygon that represents the intersection of this frustum with a plane, or undefined if no intersection exists getRangePlanes(clipFront: boolean, clipBack: boolean, expandPlaneDistance: number): ConvexClipPlaneSet Get a convex set of clipping planes bounding the region contained by this Frustum. getRotation(result?: Matrix3d): undefined | Matrix3d Get the rotation matrix to the frame of this frustum. initFromRange(range: Readonly<WritableLowAndHighXYZ> | Readonly<WritableLowAndHighXY>): void Initialize this Frustum from a Range initNpc(): Frustum Initialize this Frustum to the 8 corners of the NPC cube. invalidate(): void Invalidate this Frustum by setting all 8 points to zero. isSame(other: Frustum): boolean Return true if all of the points in this Frustum are almost the same as the points in another Frustum. multiply(trans: Transform): void Multiply all the points of this Frustum by a Transform, in place. scaleAboutCenter(scale: number): void Scale this Frustum, in place, about its center by a scale factor. scaleXYAboutCenter(scale: number): void Scale this frustum's XY (viewing) plane about its center setFrom(other: Frustum): void Set the points of this Frustum to be copies of the points in another Frustum. setFromCorners(corners: Point3d[]): void Set the points of this frustum from array of corner points in NPC order. toMap4d(): undefined | Map4d Create a Map4d that converts world coordinates to/from Npc coordinates of this Frustum. toRange(range?: Range3d): Range3d Calculate a bounding range from the 8 points in this Frustum. transformBy(trans: Transform, result?: Frustum): Frustum Transform all the points of this Frustum and return the result in another Frustum. translate(offset: Readonly<WritableXYAndZ>): void Offset all of the points of this Frustum by a vector. fromRange(range: Readonly<WritableLowAndHighXYZ> | Readonly<WritableLowAndHighXY>, out?: Frustum): Frustum Static Create a new Frustum from a Range3d Properties Name Type Description frontCenter Accessor ReadOnly Point3d Get the front center point hasMirror Accessor ReadOnly boolean Return true if this Frustum has a mirror (is not in the correct order.) points Readonly Point3d[] Array of the 8 points of this Frustum. rearCenter Accessor ReadOnly Point3d Get the front center point Defined in core/common/src/Frustum.ts Line 72 Last Updated: 29 November, 2022
