  2. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    The vertical shear displaces points to the right of the y-axis up or down, depending on the sign of m. It leaves vertical lines invariant, but tilts all other lines about the point where they meet the y-axis. Horizontal lines, in particular, get tilted by the shear angle to become lines with slope m.

  3. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    The tree is at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point[ 1] or a crash point. [ 2] The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. [ 3] The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced ...

  4. Moiré pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    Consider two patterns made of parallel and equidistant lines, e.g., vertical lines. The step of the first pattern is p, the step of the second is p + δp, with 0 < δp < p. If the lines of the patterns are superimposed at the left of the figure, the shift between the lines increases when going to the right.

  5. Stadia mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadia_mark

    For example, a typical stadia mark pair are set so that the ratio is 100. If one observes a vertical length on a stadia rod, rule or levelling rod with the telescope and sees that the rod spans 0.500 m between the marks (the stadia interval), then the horizontal distance from the instrument to the rod is: 0.500m x 100 = 50 m.

  6. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

    The vertical warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a loom (frame) while the horizontal weft (also called the woof) is drawn through (inserted over and under) the warp thread. [1] In the terminology of weaving, each warp thread is called a warp end (synonymous terms are fill yarn and filling yarn ); a pick is a single weft thread that ...

  7. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  8. Recurrence quantification analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_quantification...

    Recurrence plots mostly contain single dots and lines which are parallel to the mean diagonal (line of identity, LOI) or which are vertical/horizontal. Lines parallel to the LOI are referred to as diagonal lines and the vertical structures as vertical lines. Because an RP is usually symmetric, horizontal and vertical lines correspond to each ...

  9. Infinity symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_symbol

    Infinity symbol. The infinity symbol ( ∞) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. This symbol is also called a lemniscate, [ 1] after the lemniscate curves of a similar shape studied in algebraic geometry, [ 2] or "lazy eight", in the terminology of livestock branding. [ 3]
