Point field

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In synthetic projective geometry, the point field is the set of all points that lie in a plane . The plane is called the carrier of the point field. The point field is a basic structure of the second level. It also contains the far points of the straight lines that lie in the plane of the beam. If the carrier plane is the far plane of space, the point field does not contain an ordinary point, but all far points of space.
