// Alternatively pass [rows, columns] for a grid with different rows and column units
const grid = new PerspectiveGrid(10);
grid.init(
new Point(300, 380),
new Point(canvas.width - 300, 300),
new Point(canvas.width, canvas.height),
new Point(0, canvas.height)
);
grid.update();
// Operations on lines...
context.save();
grid.drawLines(context);
context.restore();
context.save();
grid.drawSquares(context);
context.restore();
// ...or simply draw
context.save();
