>>which perspective would that be?<<

Oh, gee, given a choice, I guess I prefer linear perspective.

>>In Western art, illusions of perceptual volume and space are generally created by use of the
linear perspectival system, based on the observations that objects appear to the eye to shrink
and parallel lines and planes to converge to infinitely distant vanishing points as they recede in
space from the viewer. Parallel lines in spatial recession will appear to converge on a single
vanishing point, called one-point perspective. Perceptual space and volume may be simulated
on the picture plane by variations on this basic principle, differing according to the number and
location of the vanishing points. Instead of one-point (or central) perspective, the artist may
use, for instance, angular (or oblique) perspective, which employs two vanishing points.<<

Isn't that what everyone means when they talk about putting things in perspective?
