  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. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    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 ...

  4. Translation surface (differential geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_surface...

    Establishing a parallel projection of a translation surface one 1) has to produce projections of the two generatrices, 2) make a jig of curve and 3) draw with help of this jig copies of the curve respecting the rules of a translation surface. The contour of the surface is the envelope of the curves drawn with the jig.

  5. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    1. Projections of two sets of parallel lines lying in some plane π A appear to converge, i.e. the vanishing point associated with that pair, on a horizon line, or vanishing line H formed by the intersection of the image plane with the plane parallel to π A and passing through the pinhole.

  8. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    In mathematics, projective geometry is the study of geometric properties that are invariant with respect to projective transformations.This means that, compared to elementary Euclidean geometry, projective geometry has a different setting (projective space) and a selective set of basic geometric concepts.

  9. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The boundary of a cross-section in three-dimensional space that is parallel to two of the axes, that is, parallel to the plane determined by these axes, is sometimes referred to as a contour line; for example, if a plane cuts through mountains of a raised-relief map parallel to the ground, the result is a contour line in two-dimensional space ...
