  2. Pictorial map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictorial_map

    They are not generally drawn to scale in order to show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. While regular maps focus on the accurate rendition of distances, pictorial maps enhance landmarks and often incorporate a complex interplay of different scales into one image in order to give the viewer a ...

    Therefore, the second problem is that this nomenclature is not unique for each tessellation. In order to solve those problems, GomJau-Hogg’s notation [ 3 ] is a slightly modified version of the research and notation presented in 2012, [ 2 ] about the generation and nomenclature of tessellations and double-layer grids.

  4. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere ' to see through ') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. [ citation needed ] [ dubious – discuss ] Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen ...

  5. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    Here, a tiling is a covering of the plane by non-overlapping polygons or other shapes, and a tiling is aperiodic if it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. However, despite their lack of translational symmetry , Penrose tilings may have both reflection symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry .

  6. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    Aside from the Orthographic, six standard principal views (Front; Right Side; Left Side; Top; Bottom; Rear), descriptive geometry strives to yield four basic solution views: the true length of a line (i.e., full size, not foreshortened), the point view (end view) of a line, the true shape of a plane (i.e., full size to scale, or not ...

  7. Viewpoints: Mathematical Perspective and Fractal Geometry in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewpoints:_Mathematical...

    The first seven chapters of the book concern perspectivity, while its final two concern fractals and their geometry. [1] [2] Topics covered within the chapters on perspectivity include coordinate systems for the plane and for Euclidean space, similarity, angles, and orthocenters, one-point and multi-point perspective, and anamorphic art.

  8. Perspective (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Two figures in a plane are perspective from a point O, called the center of perspectivity, if the lines joining corresponding points of the figures all meet at O. Dually , the figures are said to be perspective from a line if the points of intersection of corresponding lines all lie on one line.

  9. Perspectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspectivity

    This composition is a bijective map of the points of S 2 onto itself which preserves collinear points and is called a perspective collineation (central collineation in more modern terminology). [7] Let φ be a perspective collineation of S 2. Each point of the line of intersection of S 2 and T 2 will be fixed by φ and this line is called the ...
