I want to create some thing like this enter image description here,

but instead of a box, I use another object (a dog silhouette). Here is what I have so far

    \draw [fill=yellow!30!orange] (60pt, 600pt) circle [radius=0.3];        
\end{scope}

Not much I know enter image description here.

How can I shoot a line from the center through each point and form a 2D cone?

    Say what now? You want to draw a dog-like cone? That is, the base looks like a dog, and all the points converge into a tip when you extrude the (poor) dog?

  • Sketch 3D frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler can do things like that.

EDIT: A new version is added below which uses a single decoration to do most of the work, and draw the dashed lines for the cone behind the screen automatically.

I'm never going to claim this is (a) straightforward (b) robust, or (c) elegant, but it might show one way of getting close to the requirements. It only works with objects made up of straight lines.

Much less work is required if we tie almost everything up in a single decoration, and use layers. In particular we only need to specify the object path (i.e., the dog) once.

The decoration definition is, unfortunately, a little involved, and like the previous version, it only really works with objects made up of straight lines. Also, I "have a go" at getting the dashed edges of the cone behind the image plane. Two coordinates cone edge first and cone edge second are defined which should correspond to where the cone edges meet the screen/image plane.

  • This is great. Thanks a lot :). Is it possible to move the image plane further away toward the camera? I tried to change the \screen value but it doesn't work. Add if could we hide the part of the silhouette cone blocked by the image plane?

  • @wererabit Have added fix for \screenposition. Increasing the value (<1) moves the screen nearer the camera. To hide the part of the cone blocked by the image plane simply remove opacity=0.5 from the first statement drawing the screen. But! If you then want to add the dotted lines showing the "outer edges" of the cone (as in your original image), that's going to be tricky to do automatically. That's partly why I allowed the cone to partly show through the the screen/image plane.

  • @wererabit I've had a go at getting the dashed line cone edges. Not convinced it's robust though.

  • Why did you put \psrline in pst-node rather than in pstricks? I think \psrline should be regarded as a fundamental/basic/core macro. :-)
