OrthographicOffCenterFrustum

new Cesium.OrthographicOffCenterFrustum()

The viewing frustum is defined by 6 planes. Each plane is represented by a Cartesian4 object, where the x, y, and z components define the unit vector normal to the plane, and the w component is the distance of the plane from the origin/camera position.
Example:
var maxRadii = ellipsoid.maximumRadius;

var frustum = new Cesium.OrthographicOffCenterFrustum();
frustum.near = 0.01 * maxRadii;
frustum.far = 50.0 * maxRadii;
