  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. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

    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. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

  7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    A multiview projection is a type of orthographic projection that shows the object as it looks from the front, right, left, top, bottom, or back (e.g. the primary views), and is typically positioned relative to each other according to the rules of either first-angle or third-angle projection. The origin and vector direction of the projectors ...

  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. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors) from the three-dimensional source object with the drawing surface (projection plane). In both oblique projection and orthographic projection, parallel lines of the source object produce parallel lines in the projected image. The ...
