Axonometric Projections

Same method as multiview orthographic projections, except projection plane not parallel to any of the coordinate planes. Parallel lines are equally foreshortened.
Isometric: Angles between all three principal axes are equal (120o). The same scale ratio applies along each axis.
Dimetric: Angles between two of the principal axes are equal. Two scale ratios are needed.
Trimetric: Angles different between the three principal axes. Three scale ratios required.
