Camera.orthographicSize

Description

Camera's half-size when in orthographic mode.

The orthographicSize property defines the viewing volume of an orthographic Camera. In order to edit this size, set the Camera to be orthographic first through script or in the Inspector. The orthographicSize is half the size of the vertical viewing volume. The horizontal size of the viewing volume depends on the aspect ratio.

Orthographic size is ignored when the camera is not orthographic (see orthographic).
