fov

A command-line utility for calculating horizontal or vertical FOV values for a given aspect ratio. This is especially useful when tweaking the field of view value in various 3D applications, such as games.

Usage

Examples

Determine the vertical FOV from an horizontal FOV

$ fov 90h 4:3
Horizontal FOV  90.00°
Vertical FOV    73.74°
Aspect ratio    4:3

Determine the horizontal FOV from a vertical FOV

$ fov 70v 16:9
Horizontal FOV  102.45°
Vertical FOV    70.00°
Aspect ratio    16:9

Convert an horizontal FOV to a wider aspect ratio

$ fov 90h 4:3 16:9
                Orig.   Converted
Horizontal FOV  90.00°  106.26°
Vertical FOV    73.74°  73.74°
Aspect ratio    4:3     16:9
