Scope note
Refers to a projection in which parallel lines project from the picture plane at an angle that is slanting or declining from the vertical or horizontal, as opposed to being perpendicular to the picture plane. It is distinct from "oblique perspective," in which parallel lines may appear to converge as they recede into space rather than remaining parallel.
