Vanishing point to the axis which is cut by this image plane will have images that meet at a single vanishing point. Lines parallel to the other two axes will not form vanishing points as they are parallel to the image plane. This is one-point perspective. Similarly, when the image plane intersects two world-coordinate axes, lines parallel to those planes will meet form two vanishing points in the picture plane. This is called two-point perspective. In three-point perspective the image plane intersects the , , and axes and therefore lines parallel to these axes intersect, resulting in three different vanishing points. The
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,
