[Tex/LaTex] Drawing parallelogram and circle in latex

Question

I want to draw a Parallelogram
which there is a line perpendicular to it and also there are some circles on this Parallelogram and some points on the circles. as you can see in this picture.
could any body tell me how I can do that in latex?

Answer 1

I am wondering about the same thing as @Tarass. Here are both possibilities, a picture according to your description and a 3D picture.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikz-3dplot}
\tdplotsetmaincoords{110}{20}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
 \subfloat{\begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw (-4,-2) -- (2,-2,0) -- (4,2,0) -- (-2,2,0) -- cycle;
 \draw (0,0) circle ({2/3});
 \draw (0,0) circle ({4/3});
 \foreach \Angle in {45,135,225,315}
 {\draw[fill] ({\Angle-30}:{2/3}) circle (1pt);
 \draw[fill] ({\Angle+15}:{4/3}) circle (1pt);}
 \draw (0,0) -- (0,3);
\end{tikzpicture}}
\subfloat{\begin{tikzpicture}
 \tdplotsetrotatedcoords{90}{0}{0}
 \begin{scope}[tdplot_rotated_coords]
 \draw (0,0,0) circle ({2/3});
 \draw (0,0,0) circle ({4/3});
 \foreach \Angle in {45,135,225,315}
 {\draw[fill] ({\Angle-45}:{2/3}) circle (1pt);
 \draw[fill] (\Angle:{4/3}) circle (1pt);}
 \draw (-2,-2,0) -- (2,-2,0) -- (2,2,0) -- (-2,2,0) -- cycle;
 \draw (0,0,0) -- (0,0,3);
 \end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
