Slants

Slants, or "cants," refer to the angle at which a door, window, or other object is tilted from vertical or horizontal alignment. They are used in architecture and construction to influence aesthetics, facilitate drainage, or improve function. For example, a slanted roof allows rain to run off more efficiently, while a slanted door may be designed for decorative purposes or to accommodate structural needs. Understanding slants helps in designing and analyzing structures to ensure stability, usability, and visual appeal.
