We know that in Oblique Parallel Projection Point $(x,y,z)$ is projected to position $(x_p,y_p)$ on the view plane.Projector (oblique) from $(x,y,z)$ to $(x_p,y_p)$ makes an angle $\alpha$ with the line (L) on the projection plane that joins $(x_p,y_p)$ and $(x,y).$ Line $L$ is at an angle $\phi$ with the horizontal direction in the projection plane.See this image1:
And in Oblique Parallel Projection Angles, distances, and parallel lines in the plane are projected accurately.For example see below image2:
My question is where is the angle $\alpha$ in image2, I mean I see the angle $\phi$ on the image , so where is $\alpha$ in that image to understand better?
N. B:1 -- I am following Hearn and Baker book which screenshot like this.
N. B. -- I want to understand just intuition in easy way rather than details.
