Projection ​
A 4×4 matrix for 3D projective transformations.
Description
A 4×4 matrix used for 3D projective transformations. It can represent transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, shearing, and perspective division. It consists of four Vector4 columns.
For purely linear transformations (translation, rotation, and scale), it is recommended to use Transform3D, as it is more performant and requires less memory.
Used internally as Camera3D's projection matrix.

There are notable differences when using this API with C#. See C# API differences to GDScript for more information.
