  2. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    A parallel projection is a particular case of projection in mathematics and graphical projection in technical drawing. Parallel projections can be seen as the limit of a central or perspective projection, in which the rays pass through a fixed point called the center or viewpoint, as this point is moved towards

  3. Equipollence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipollence_(geometry)

    , where n stands for a positive number, indicates that AB is both parallel to and has the same direction as CD, and that their lengths have the relation expressed by AB = n.CD. [ 1 ] The segment from A to B is a bound vector , while the class of segments equipollent to it is a free vector , in the parlance of Euclidean vectors .

  4. Axonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometry

    But, as the engineer projection and the standard isometry are scaled orthographic projections, the contour of a sphere is a circle in these cases, as well. As the diagram shows, an ellipse as the contour of a sphere might be confusing, so, if a sphere is part of an object to be mapped, one should choose an orthogonal axonometry or an engineer ...

  5. Pohlke's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pohlke's_theorem

    Because a parallel projection and a scaling preserves ratios one can map an arbitrary point = (,,) by the axonometric procedure below. Pohlke's theorem can be stated in terms of linear algebra as: Any affine mapping of the 3-dimensional space onto a plane can be considered as the composition of a similarity and a parallel projection.

    Given the X, Y and Z coordinates of P, R, S and U, projections 1 and 2 are drawn to scale on the X-Y and X-Z planes, respectively. To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2.

    Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 30°N/S and an aspect ratio of (3/4)π ≈ 2.356. 2002 Hobo–Dyer: Cylindrical Equal-area Mick Dyer: Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 37.5°N/S and an aspect ratio of 1.977. Similar are Trystan Edwards with standard parallels at 37.4° and Smyth equal ...

  8. Projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_plane

    The points at infinity are the "extra" points where parallel lines intersect in the construction of the extended real plane; the point (0, x 1, x 2) is where all lines of slope x 2 / x 1 intersect. Consider for example the two lines

  9. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.
