Prusa Slicer's graphic perspective

The perspective view of the table top looks odd or incorrect to me. It seems the objects closer to me are smaller than objects away from me. It should be the other way around. The platter looks this way also. Is it just me or can I change the perspective?

RE: Prusa Slicer's graphic perspective

PS and its predecessor Slic3r use an orthographic projection. If you view a cube, it looks odd, but the closest and furthest lines are actually the same length. There's an old discussion on the topic here. In short: There are plans to implement a perspective view, but it's not the top priority at present.

Maybe it's isometric. I'm fuzzy on the names of the projections. Hold a piece of paper up to the screen to measure the close and far sides of a cube and you'll see that they're the same.

OK I see that now, but it sure looks odd. There should be a setting for this. Most CAD programs have both perspectives. Is there a place for suggests to Prusa Slicer? I have several.
