Perspective

perspective.pde
/**
 * Perspective. 
 * 
 * Move the mouse left and right to change the field of view (fov).
 * Click to modify the aspect ratio. The perspective() function
 * sets a perspective projection applying foreshortening, making 
 * distant objects appear smaller than closer ones. The parameters 
 * define a viewing volume with the shape of truncated pyramid. 
 * Objects near to the front of the volume appear their actual size, 
 * while farther objects appear smaller. This projection simulates 
 * the perspective of the world more accurately than orthographic projection. 
 * The version of perspective without parameters sets the default 
 * perspective and the version with four parameters allows the programmer 
 * to set the area precisely.
