  2. Z-order curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve

    The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [5] [6] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [7] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.

  3. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

    The Rodrigues vector (sometimes called the Gibbs vector, with coordinates called Rodrigues parameters) [3] [4] can be expressed in terms of the axis and angle of the rotation as follows: = ^ ⁡ This representation is a higher-dimensional analog of the gnomonic projection , mapping unit quaternions from a 3-sphere onto the 3-dimensional pure ...

  4. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    Thus, the vector is parallel to , the vector is orthogonal to , and = +. The projection of a onto b can be decomposed into a direction and a scalar magnitude by writing it as a 1 = a 1 b ^ {\displaystyle \mathbf {a} _{1}=a_{1}\mathbf {\hat {b}} } where a 1 {\displaystyle a_{1}} is a scalar, called the scalar projection of a onto b , and b̂ is ...

  5. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    ρ is the length of the vector projected onto the xy-plane, φ is the angle between the projection of the vector onto the xy-plane (i.e. ρ) and the positive x-axis (0 ≤ φ < 2π), z is the regular z-coordinate. (ρ, φ, z) is given in Cartesian coordinates by:

  6. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic shape to create a map of points, that are then connected to one another to create a visual element. The result is a graphic that contains conceptual properties to interpret the figure or image as not actually flat (2D), but rather, as a solid object (3D) being viewed on a 2D display.

  7. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    Sometimes, the vector [, (,)] is normalized to make the plot better looking for a human eye. A set of pairs x , y {\displaystyle x,y} making a rectangular grid is typically used for the drawing. An isocline (a series of lines with the same slope) is often used to supplement the slope field.

  8. Domain coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_coloring

    Domain coloring plot of the function f(x) = ⁠ (x 2 − 1)(x − 2 − i) 2 / x 2 + 2 + 2i ⁠, using the structured color function described below.. In complex analysis, domain coloring or a color wheel graph is a technique for visualizing complex functions by assigning a color to each point of the complex plane.

  9. Signed distance function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_distance_function

    The function has positive values at points x inside Ω, it decreases in value as x approaches the boundary of Ω where the signed distance function is zero, and it takes negative values outside of Ω. [1] However, the alternative convention is also sometimes taken instead (i.e., negative inside Ω and positive outside). [2]
