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
Point plotting |"x"| from the origin and along the positive direction if "x"≥0, and the other direction otherwise. In the same way one picks the point on the "y" axis corresponding to the number "y". The line parallel to the "y" axis going through the first point and the line parallel to the "x" axis going through the second point will intersect at precisely one point, which will be called the point with coordinates ("x", "y"). Point plotting Point plotting is an elementary mathematical skill required in analytic geometry. Invented by René Descartes and originally used to locate positions on military maps,
