Adobe Illustrator CC is very famous & well known for its ability to create pixel-perfect designs. It permits the creation of paths that automatically line up to the closest pixel grid. Illustrator 2020 gives the Snap to Pixel capacity. When it comes to art, the importance of perspective cannot be understated. Check cpu temp.

Introduction
Adobe Illustrator is an application that that provides tools you can use to work with vector graphics, which include vector shapes and vector objects. Vector graphics are created using mathematical shapes, not pixels, and that's why vector shapes are considered resolution-independent. When you draw a vector object, you create one or more lines called a path. A path is made up of one or more curved or straight line segments. The start and end points for a line segment is known as an anchor point, which you can drag to change and move.
Illustrator provides drawing tools on the Tools panel that you can use to create a variety of shapes, including rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, flares, lines, arcs, spirals, rectangle grids, and polar (circular) grids. After you draw an object, you can use Illustrator selection tools to modify it. The two main selection tools are the Selection tool and the Direct Selection tool. The Selection tool allows you to select entire objects, while the Direct Selection tool allows you to select paths and segments. In addition to these tools, you can also use the Select menu. The Select menu provides a variety of powerful selection commands for you to use in a document or artboard. For example, you can select objects whose attributes (including Appearance, Blending Modes, Fill & Stroke, Opacity, and Stroke Color) are similar to the current or last selection.
After you select one or more objects, you can move, align, group, and transform them. The transformation tools allow you to rotate, scale (resize), reflect (mirror image), or shear (slant) an object.
The Perspective Grid is a new feature in lllustrator CC 2017 that enables you to create and manipulate art in a spatial environment using established laws of perspective. Enable Perspective Grid using the View > Perspective Grid menu or the perspective tools in the toolbar.
The SDK provides an API for working with the perspective grid programmatically, and your scripts have some access to this API. A script can:
- Set a the default grid parameters using preset values.
- Show or hide the grid.
- Set the active plane.
- Draw an object in perspective on the active plane.
- Bring an object into perspective.
Use perspective presets¶
Illustrator provides default grid-parameter presets for one-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives. The presets are named '[1P-NormalView]'
, '[2P-NormalView]'
, and '[3P-NormalView]'
.
The script shows how to select the two-point perspective preset programmatically:
You can create new perspective presets, export presets to files, and import presets from files. These scripts shows how to export and import presets:
Show or hide the grid¶

Set the active plane¶
The perspective grid plane types are:
Left plane | PerspectiveGridPlaneType.LEFTPLANE |
Right plane | PerspectiveGridPlaneType.RIGHTPLANE |
Floor plane | PerspectiveGridPlaneType.FLOORPLANE |
Invalid plane | PerspectiveGridPlaneType.NOPLANE |
For a one-point perspective grid, only the left and floor plane are valid.

If an art object is not in perspective, use the bringInPerspective()
method to bring it into perspective and place it on a plane.
