# projectionType

> The projection type of the shadow-casting light to be rendered. For example, directional light shadow-maps will have orthographic projection. Spot lights will usually have perspective projection, but you might want to implement orthographically-projected box-shaped spot lights in your scriptable renderer pipeline.
