# perspective(fovYRadians:aspectRatio:nearZ:farZ:reverseZ:)

Creates a symmetric perspective projection from a vertical field-of-view angle.

## Declaration

```swift
static func perspective(fovYRadians: Float, aspectRatio: Float, nearZ: Float, farZ: Float, reverseZ: Bool = true) -> LowLevelRenderer.Camera.Projection
```

## Parameters

- `fovYRadians`: The vertical field-of-view angle, in radians.
- `aspectRatio`: The ratio of the viewport width to its height.
- `nearZ`: The distance to the near clipping plane.
- `farZ`: The distance to the far clipping plane.
- `reverseZ`: If true, the depth range is reversed (1 at near, 0 at far). Defaults to true.

## Return Value

Return Value A symmetric perspective LowLevelRenderer.Camera.Projection.
