 ﻿The height of a cylinder is the length of the axis, or the distance from one base to the other. If the axis be perpendicular, the cylinder is said to be upright.

Here, as in the cone, the laws of perspective change the circles into ellipses. The axes of the ellipses, and that of the cylinder, may be given in inches by the monitor.
