isometrists

Isometrists is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily in the fields of art and geometry. In art, an isometrist is an artist who specializes in isometric perspective. This artistic technique creates an illusion of depth and three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface by representing parallel lines as converging at specific angles, typically 120 degrees. Works created with isometric perspective often appear precise and structured, commonly found in technical drawings, architectural renderings, and certain styles of illustration.

In a more abstract mathematical or geometric context, an isometrist might refer to a transformation or function that preserves distances between points. This is known as an isometry. In Euclidean geometry, isometries are rigid motions such as translations, rotations, and reflections. These transformations maintain the shape and size of geometric objects. Therefore, an isometrist in this sense is not necessarily a person but rather a mathematical operation or a property of a geometric mapping. The term is less commonly used to describe individuals practicing these mathematical concepts.
