In graphics, the number of vanishing points depends on

  1. A.

    the number of axes cut by the projection plane

  2. B.

    the centre of projection

  3. C.

    the number of axes which are parallel to the projection plane

  4. D.

    the perspective projections of any set of parallel lines that are not parallel to the projection plane

Attempted by 6 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

In perspective projection, vanishing points are formed by lines not parallel to the picture plane. Each principal axis inclined to the projection plane generates one vanishing point where its perspective converges. Thus, the number of vanishing points corresponds to the count of axes intersecting or cut by the projection plane.
