perspective
A way to represent a three-dimensional object in two dimensions.

In a perspective drawing, vertical lines of the three-dimensional object are drawn vertically and horizontal lines of the object are represented by straight lines that meet at one of the two special points called perspective points. These two perspective points lie to the left and right of the drawing respectively at a distance determined by the viewing position of the object.
