Perspective (graphical) and vice versa. The more off-center the vanishing point, the more tilted the square will be. Because the square is made up of right angles, the vanishing point should be directly in the middle of the horizon line. A rotated square is drawn using two-point perspective, with each set of parallel lines leading to a different vanishing point. The foremost edge of the ("orange") square is drawn near the bottom of the painting. Because the viewer's picture plane is parallel to the bottom of the square, this line is horizontal. Lines connecting each side of the foremost edge to the
Ideal point 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 projective case, ideal points form a boundary, not a submanifold. So, these lines do not "intersect" at an ideal point and such points, although well defined, do not belong to the hyperbolic space itself. The ideal points together form the Cayley absolute or boundary of a hyperbolic geometry.
