Talk:Axonometric projection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Axonometric projection is addressed at Orthographic projection, under Pictorials ... suggest present site might be discontinued Pat Kelso 21:16, Mar 1, 2004 (UTC)

I have incorporated the info from orthographic projection into this article. Warofdreams 17:20, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

re: "Axonometric projection is a form of orthographic projection. It is a method for the visual representation of three-dimensional objects in which there are no vanishing points, objects are drawn to the same scale regardless of distance, and all line which are parallel in three-dimensional space are parallel in the two-dimensional picture."

The reference to no vanishing points and the scale being independent of distance is implicit in the definition of orthographic projection and therefore perhaps redundant. The mention of these, however, suggests a comparison with Perspective projection which may be an excellent point of departure for the entire article as it is not strictly addressed else where, to my knowledge.

The "Longer explanation of axonometric projection" is frought with misstatements and technical errors.... suggest it be discontinued.....

[edit] New image

I made a new image and put it in the article. I had some issues with the placement, could someone handier with wiki markup fix the placement? Thanks. Phasmatisnox 12:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Placement looks good enough The problem is the navigation box to the right, it takes up the space normally used for images. I at some point moved it down to the bottom, but someone else moved it back up, so would need to first find a consensus to move it down - but the field of descriptive geometry seems somewhat abandoned currently. --Allefant 09:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
