The three types of axonometric projection are isometric projection, dimetric projection, and trimetric projection, depending on the exact angle by which the view deviates from the orthogonal. [2] [3] Typically in axonometric drawing, as in other types of pictorials, one axis of space is shown to be vertical.
In trimetric pictorials (for methods, see Trimetric projection), the direction of viewing is such that all of the three axes of space appear unequally foreshortened. The scale along each of the three axes and the angles among them are determined separately as dictated by the angle of viewing. Approximations in Trimetric drawings are common.
Despite the name, isometric computer graphics are not necessarily truly isometric—i.e., the x, y, and z axes are not necessarily oriented 120° to each other. Instead, a variety of angles are used, with dimetric projection and a 2:1 pixel ratio being the most common.
Parallel projections (oblique, planometric, isometric, dimetric, and trimetric), and; many types of perspective projections (with one, two, or three vanishing points). Technical illustration and computer-aided design can also use 3D and solid-body projections, such as rapid prototyping.
One of the most common problems with programming games that use isometric (or more likely dimetric) projections is the ability to map between events that happen on the 2d plane of the screen and the actual location in the isometric space, called world space. A common example is picking the tile that lies right under the cursor when a user clicks.
If the three foreshortenings are equal, the projection is called isometric. If all foreshortenings are different, the projection is called trimetric . The parameters in the diagram at right (e.g. of the house drawn on graph paper) are: α = 135 ∘ , β = 90 ∘ , v y = v z = 1 , v x = 1 / 2 . {\displaystyle \alpha =135^{\circ },\beta =90 ...
The primary views include plans, elevations and sections; and the isometric, dimetric and trimetric projections could be considered auxiliary views. A typical (but non-obligatory) characteristic of multiview orthographic projections is that one axis of space usually is displayed as vertical.
There are three main divisions of axonometric projection: isometric (equal measure), dimetric (symmetrical and unsymmetrical), and trimetric (single-view or only two sides). The most common of these drawing types in engineering drawing is isometric projection. This projection is tilted so that all three axes create equal angles at intervals of ...
