## Includes

    #include <graphene.h>

## Description

A graphene_frustum_t represents a volume of space delimited by planes. It is usually employed to represent the field of view of a camera, and can be used to determine whether an object falls within that view, to efficiently remove invisible objects from the render process.

## Functions

### graphene_frustum_alloc ()

    graphene_frustum_t *
    graphene_frustum_alloc (void);

Allocates a new graphene_frustum_t structure.

The contents of the returned structure are undefined.

[constructor]

#### Returns

the newly allocated graphene_frustum_t structure. Use `graphene_frustum_free()` to free the resources allocated by this function.
