2. GL2:2 A graphic is a representation on a 2-D surface of a 3-D scene An artist may attempt to create a ‘realistic’ image. Note the use of perspective. In fact, there are distortions in this picture, and it does not create the same projection on the retina as a real scene would.

3. GL2:3 Meaning may be communicated better by deliberate distortion

4. GL2:4 In engineering graphics: a variety of types of distorted images are available to communicate meaning strict rules apply to the construction and interpretation of these images a universal language of graphic communication is thus achieved

5. GL2:5 Projection plane 3-D object View point Projection rays 2-D projection Engineering graphics are obtained by projection from the 3-D object to the viewing surface (the projection plane) Perspective projection

6. GL2:6 Perspective projection is rarely used in manual drawing Types of projection Rather, we us a variety of orthographic projections, for which the projection rays are parallel

7. GL2:7 Projection plane 3-D object View point at  In orthographic projection, the projection rays are parallel (view point at infinity) Parallel projection rays 2-D projection

8. GL2:8 Perspective projection is useful for ‘non technical’ communications Perspective renderings for marketing, etc. are readily obtained with computer-aided drawing (CAD) systems
