# GLKMatrix4MakeOrtho(_:_:_:_:_:_:)

Returns a 4x4 orthographic projection matrix.

## Declaration

```swift
func GLKMatrix4MakeOrtho(_ left: Float, _ right: Float, _ bottom: Float, _ top: Float, _ nearZ: Float, _ farZ: Float) -> GLKMatrix4
```

## Parameters

- `left`: The left coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.
- `right`: The right coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.
- `bottom`: The bottom coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.
- `top`: The top coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.
- `nearZ`: The near coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.
- `farZ`: The far coordinate of the projection volume in eye coordinates.

## Return Value

Return Value A new projection matrix.

## Discussion

Discussion This function creates the same orthographic projection matrix previously provided in OpenGL ES 1.1 by the glOrtho function.
