Drawing perspective is a method of portraying objects on a flat surface so that the dimensions shrink with distance. Each set of parallel, straight edges of any object, whether a building or a table, follows lines that eventually converge at a vanishing point. Typically this convergence point is somewhere along the horizon, as buildings are built level with the flat surface. When multiple structures are aligned with each other, such as buildings along a street, the horizontal tops and bottoms of the structures typically converge at a vanishing point. When both the fronts and sides of a building are drawn, then
Critical point (mathematics) parallel to the y-axis" and the "projection parallel to the x-axis", respectively. A point of is critical for formula_5, if the tangent to exists and is parallel to the "y"-axis. In that case, the images by formula_5 of the critical point and of the tangent are the same point of the "x"-axis, called the critical value. Thus a point is critical for formula_5 if its coordinates are solution of the system of equations This implies that this definition is a special case of the general definition of a critical point, which is given below. The definition of a critical point
