How to set view region of ortho_camera?

[AaronWPowell]

When creating an orthographic camera with the API, how do you set how much of the scene is "in view"? Do you set this with the position/matrix values? The node reference docs don't seem to be very clear on this.

There's no fov for ortho_camera, so it's just the transformations in the matrix

That's what I thought. So basically moving the camera forwards or backwards will change the scope of what's capture in-render?

[Stephen.Blair]

Right. Basically that's it.

I hate to resurrect this but I seem to still be missing something here. No matter how far away my ortho camera is from my subject it renders the same distance every time. Is there some scene scale or other setting that also affects it?Basically, whether the camera is at (0, 0, -5) or (0, 0, -50), the render looks the same.

Ok, looks like I mislead you with my original answer.
It's the screen size min/max that is different:

THAT did it! Thanks!
