  2. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

  3. Poincaré disk model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_disk_model

    Poincaré disk with hyperbolic parallel lines Poincaré disk model of the truncated triheptagonal tiling.. In geometry, the Poincaré disk model, also called the conformal disk model, is a model of 2-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which all points are inside the unit disk, and straight lines are either circular arcs contained within the disk that are orthogonal to the unit circle or ...

  4. Midpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

    Given two points of interest, finding the midpoint of the line segment they determine can be accomplished by a compass and straightedge construction.The midpoint of a line segment, embedded in a plane, can be located by first constructing a lens using circular arcs of equal (and large enough) radii centered at the two endpoints, then connecting the cusps of the lens (the two points where the ...

  5. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    The line q′ in the p m direction is placed to go through an intersection Q x' such that there are intersections in each half of the half-plane not containing the solution. The constrained version of the enclosing problem is run on line q′ which together with q determines the quadrant where the center is located.

  6. Projective harmonic conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_harmonic_conjugate

    Midpoint and infinity are harmonic conjugates. When x is the midpoint of the segment from a to b, then = = By the cross-ratio criterion, the harmonic conjugate of x will be y when t(y) = 1. But there is no finite solution for y on the line through a and b.

  7. Midpoint theorem (conics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_theorem_(conics)

    In geometry, the midpoint theorem describes a property of parallel chords in a conic. It states that the midpoints of parallel chords in a conic are located on a common line. The common line or line segment for the midpoints is called the diameter. For a circle, ellipse or hyperbola the diameter goes through its center.

  8. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

    The value of the line function at this midpoint is the sole determinant of which point should be chosen. The adjacent image shows the blue point (2,2) chosen to be on the line with two candidate points in green (3,2) and (3,3). The black point (3, 2.5) is the midpoint between the two candidate points.

  9. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    A line starting on the left edge and tracing across the diagram to the right can be used to represent an interpolation formula if the following rules are followed: [5] Lozenge Diagram: geometric representation of polynomial interpolations. Left to right steps indicate addition whereas right to left steps indicate subtraction
