Vanishing point of multipoint perspective, and historian Kirsti Andersen compiled these observations. She notes, in terms of projective geometry, the vanishing point is the image of the point at infinity associated with , as the sightline from through the vanishing point is parallel to . As a vanishing point originates in a line, so a vanishing line originates in a plane that is not parallel to the picture . Given the eye point , and the plane parallel to and lying on , then the vanishing line of is . For example, when is the ground plane and is the horizon plane,
Tricritical point more components. It can be shown that three is the "minimum" number of components for which these points can appear. In this case, one may have a two-dimensional region of three-phase coexistence ("F" = 2-3+3 =2) (thus, each point in this region corresponds to a triple point). This region (F=2, P=3) will terminate in two critical lines of two-phase coexistence; these two critical lines (F=1, P=2) may then terminate at a single tricritical point. This point (F=0, P=1) is therefore "twice critical", since it belongs to two critical branches.<br> Indeed, its critical behavior is different from that of a conventional
