The foreshortening factor (1/2 in this example) is inversely proportional to the tangent of the angle (63.43° in this example) between the projection plane (colored brown) and the projection lines (dotted). Front view of the same. Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors)
Let ABC be a triangle in a circle where AB is a diameter in that circle. Then construct a new triangle ABD by mirroring ABC over the line AB and then mirroring it again over the line perpendicular to AB which goes through the center of the circle. Since lines AC and BD are parallel, likewise for AD and CB, the quadrilateral ACBD is a parallelogram.
In three-dimensional geometry, a parallel projection (or axonometric projection) is a projection of an object in three-dimensional space onto a fixed plane, known as the projection plane or image plane, where the rays, known as lines of sight or projection lines, are parallel to each other. It is a basic tool in descriptive geometry.
Fig.5: A second, horizontal plane of projection is added, perpendicular to the first. Fig.6: Projectors emanate parallel from all points of the object perpendicular to the second plane of projection. Fig.7: An image is created thereby. Fig.8: The third plane of projection is added, perpendicular to the previous two. Fig.9: Projectors emanate ...
Construct the orthocenter of triangle and three midpoints (say A', B' C' ) between vertices and orthocenter. Construct a circumcircle of A'B'C' . This is the nine-point circle, it intersects each side of the original triangle at two points: the base of altitude and midpoint. Construct an intersection of one side with the circle at midpoint now ...
This image line is perpendicular to every line of the plane which passes through the origin, in particular the original line (point of the projective plane). All lines that are perpendicular to the original line at the origin lie in the unique plane which is orthogonal to the original line, that is, the image plane under the association. Thus ...
Lines A, B and C are concurrent in Y. In geometry, lines in a plane or higher-dimensional space are concurrent if they intersect at a single point.. The set of all lines through a point is called a pencil, and their common intersection is called the vertex of the pencil.
The point P is the inversion point of Q; the polar is the line through P that is perpendicular to the line containing O, P and Q. If point R is the inverse of point P then the lines perpendicular to the line PR through one of the points is the polar of the other point (the pole). Poles and polars have several useful properties:
