On peut indiquer l'éloignement relatif des objets [...] par un tracé géométrique où les dimensions se réduisent proportionnellement à la distance - c'est ce qu'on appelle la perspective linéaire. Soit un point fixe P appelé «point de vue», [...] et un plan T ne passant par P et qu'on appelle «plan du tableau». La perspective d'un point A sur le plan du tableau T est la trace A' de la droite PA. [...] La perspective linéaire ou conique est la représentation d'un objet obtenue en partant des considérations précédentes, le point P étant l'œil de l'observateur.  2, record 1, French, - perspective%20lin%C3%A9aire
