+ * Computes a 4-by-4 perspective transformation matrix given the angular height
+ * of the frustum, the aspect ratio, and the near and far clipping planes.  The
+ * arguments define a frustum extending in the negative z direction.  The given
+ * angle is the vertical angle of the frustum, and the horizontal angle is
+ * determined to produce the given aspect ratio.  The arguments near and far are
+ * the distances to the near and far clipping planes.  Note that near and far
+ * are not z coordinates, but rather they are distances along the negative
+ * z-axis.  The matrix generated sends the viewing frustum to the unit box.
+ * We assume a unit box extending from -1 to 1 in the x and y dimensions and
+ * from 1 (at -zNear) to 0 (at -zFar) in the z dimension.
+ *
+ * @param fieldOfViewYInRadians - The camera angle from top to bottom (in radians).
+ * @param aspect - The aspect ratio width / height.
+ * @param zNear - The depth (negative z coordinate)
+ *     of the near clipping plane.
+ * @param zFar - The depth (negative z coordinate)
+ *     of the far clipping plane. (default = Infinity)
+ * @param dst - matrix to hold result. If not passed a new one is created.
+ * @returns The perspective matrix.
