Another is the " framing-effects hypothesis ", which says that the difference in the separation or gap of the horizontal lines from the framing converging lines may determine, or at least contribute to the magnitude of the distortion.

Devoid of figures, it includes renderings of the chess table and chairs scattered about the page with a refreshing lightness and looseness, while a series of converging lines indicate that Eakins plotted the picture's vanishing point to be close to his father's eyes.

If identical field size is maintained, wide-angle lenses make subjects appear larger by introducing size differences along with the converging lines mentioned above, and they make rooms and spaces around the subject appear more vast by increasing the distance between subject and background ( expanded perspective ).

The station building of this " Keilbahnhof " ( " wedge station ", i . e . situated between the two converging lines of a junction ) was located between the western approach tracks of the Magdeburg route and the eastern approach tracks on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway.

One of the explanations for the Ponzo illusion is the " perspective hypothesis ", which states that the perspective feature in the figure is obviously produced by the converging lines ordinarily associated with distance, that is, the two oblique lines appear to converge toward the horizon or a vanishing point.

By contrast, our feelings'meaning is not directly apparent, while we only perceive the meaning of a percept after some form of conceptual framework has been brought to bear ( for example, we give the right spatial meaning to the visually converging lines of railroad tracks through our understanding of perspective ).
17.
The converging lines toward a vanishing point ( the spokes ) are cues that trick our brains into thinking we are moving forward as we would in the real world, where the door frame ( a pair of vertical lines ) seems to bow out as we move through it and we try to perceive what that world will look like in the next instant ."

Other systems of indicating volume are also used in both notation and analysis : dB ( decibels ), numerical scales, colored or different sized notes, words in languages other than Italian, and symbols such as those for progressively increasing volume ( " crescendo " ) or decreasing volume ( " decrescendo " ), often called " hairpins " when indicated with diverging or converging lines as shown in the graphic above.

Schapiro described the painting's " absorbing perspective which draws us headlong past empty chairs and tables into hidden depths behind a distant doorway & mdash; an opening like the silhouette of the standing figure . " Lant described it as a " shocking perspectival rush, which draws us, by the converging diagonals of floorboards and billiard table, towards the mysterious, courtained doorway beyond . " Harris wrote that the perspective " pitches the viewer forward into the room, towards the half-curtained private quarters, and also creates a sense of vertigo and distorted vision, familiar from nightmares . " Schapiro also noted, " To the impulsive rush of these converging lines he opposes the broad horizontal band of red, full of scattered objects [ . . . ]"
