Horizon science of graphical perspective. Assuming the picture plane stands vertical to ground, and "P" is the perpendicular projection of the eye point "O" on the picture plane, the horizon is defined as the horizontal line through "P". The point "P" is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture. If "S" is another point on the horizon, then it is the vanishing point for all lines parallel to "OS". But Brook Taylor (1719) indicated that the horizon plane determined by "O" and the horizon was like any other plane: The peculiar geometry of perspective where parallel lines converge in
Ideal point qb. In the Poincaré half-plane model the ideal points are the points on the boundary axis. There is also another ideal point that is not represented in the half-plane model (but rays parallel to the positive y-axis approach it). In the hyperboloid model there are no ideal points. Ideal point In hyperbolic geometry, an ideal point, omega point or point at infinity is a well defined point outside the hyperbolic plane or space. Given a line "l" and a point "P" not on "l", right- and left-limiting parallels to "l" through "P" converge to "l" at "ideal points". Unlike the
