  Axonometric projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three types of axonometric projections are isometric projection, dimetric projection, and trimetric projection.
In isometric projections the direction of viewing is such that the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened, of which the displayed angles among them and also the scale of foreshortening are universally known.
In dimetric projections, the directions of viewing are such that two of the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened, of which the attendant scale and angles of presentation are determined according to the angle of viewing; the scale of the third direction (vertical) is determined separately.

 GameDev.net - Axonometric Projections - A Technical Overview
In the projection, the y-axis usually remains the vertical axis, the z-axis is skewed and the x-axis may either be horizontal, as in the figure at the right, or be skewed as well.
NEN 2536 describes an isometric projection that is symmetric with regards to the vertical axis; the angle between the x- and y-axes, and between the z- and y-axes, is 60 degrees.
In the military projection, the angles of the x- and z-axes are at 45°, meaning that the angle between the x-axis and the z-axis is 90°.

 [No title]
In both multiview projection, and axonometric projection, the observer is considered to be at infinity, and the visual rays are perpendicular to the plane of projection.
Since the principal edges and surfaces of the object are inclined to the plane of projection, the lengths of the lines, the sizes of the angles, and the general proportions of the object vary with the infinite number of possible positions in which the object may be placed with respect to the plane of projection.
Axonometric projections are classified as (a) isometric projection, (h) dimetric projection, and (c) trimetric projection, depending upon the number of scales of reduction required.

An axonometric drawing of an object is slightly distorted but is visually as satisfactory as an axonometric projection of it.
The angle between the projection of the axes in an isometric projection is 120 degrees.
Axonometric trace lines intersect so drawing a line from the point of intersection on the 'X' axis to some point on the 'Y' axis and perpendicular to the 'Z' axis gives the second trace of the axonometric plane in question.

 PlaneView 3D Planar Geometric Projections Tutorial
To project the top view of the 3-D object, the y-coordinates are discarded and the x- and z-coordinates for each point are mapped to the viewplane.
Unlike multiview projections, axonometric projections allow the user to place the viewplane normal in any direction such that three adjacent faces of a "cubelike" object are visible.
Axonometric projections are further divided into three classes that depend upon the number of major axes which are foreshortened equally (Hill, 1990).

Isometric drawing of a TV Isometric projection is a form of orthographic projection, or more specifically, an axonometric projection.
It is a method for the visual representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in which the angles between the projection of the x, y, and z axes are all the same, or 120°.

 TRACEY - representation - Riley
Perspective projections may be classified as convergent since their projectors converge on a point in front of the plane of projection, assumed to be a viewer's eye.
Planometric oblique projection is a special case of oblique projection, often inaccurately called 'axonometric', where the plan face of the object is parallel to the plane of projection (and usually rotated through 45º) and projectors are inclined obliquely to the plane of projection.
This family of projection conventions as defined by BS 1192 differs from orthographic and oblique projections because the projected lines from the object to the plane of projection are not parallel, but converge to a point, generally regarded as the position of an observer's eye.

Isometric projection is one of the projections used in drafting engineering drawings.
It should therefore be noted that this variation of isometric projection is more accurately described as a form of dimetric projection, since only two of the three angles between the axes are equal (116.565°, 116.565°, 126.87°).
