  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    In geometry, a frustum (Latin for 'morsel'); [a] (pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal .

  3. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.

    A view frustum The appearance of an object in a pyramid of vision When creating a parallel projection, the viewing frustum is shaped like a box as opposed to a pyramid.. In 3D computer graphics, a viewing frustum [1] or view frustum [2] is the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen; it is the field of view of a perspective virtual camera system.

  7. Rectangular cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_cuboid

    A rectangular cuboid is a convex polyhedron with six rectangle faces. These are often called "cuboids", without qualifying them as being rectangular, but a cuboid can also refer to a more general class of polyhedra, with six quadrilateral faces. [1] The dihedral angles of a rectangular cuboid are all right angles, and its opposite faces are ...
