  2. Convex curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    It is an example of a hedgehog, a type of curve determined as the envelope of a system of lines with a continuous support function. The hedgehogs also include non-convex curves, such as the astroid , and even self-crossing curves, but the smooth strictly convex curves are the only hedgehogs that have no singular points.

  3. Contour integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_integration

    A smooth curve that is not closed is often referred to as a smooth arc. [6] The parametrization of a curve provides a natural ordering of points on the curve: () comes before () if <. This leads to the notion of a directed smooth curve. It is most useful to consider curves independent of the specific parametrization.

    SketchUp is a 3D modeling software that is used to create and manipulate 3D models. It is used in architecture and interior design.. SketchUp is owned by Trimble Inc. The software has a free web-based version, and three paid subscriptions to gain access to applications for Windows and macOS.

  5. Arc diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_diagram

    An arc diagram is a style of graph drawing, in which the vertices of a graph are placed along a line in the Euclidean plane, with edges being drawn as semicircles in one or both of the two halfplanes bounded by the line, or as smooth curves formed by sequences of semicircles. In some cases, line segments of the line itself are also allowed as ...

  6. French curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_curve

    It is used in manual drafting and in fashion design to draw smooth curves of varying radii. The curve is placed on the drawing material, and a pencil , knife or other implement is traced around its curves to produce the desired result.

  7. Compass (drawing tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_(drawing_tool)

    A beam compass and a regular compass Using a compass A compass with an extension accessory for larger circles A bow compass capable of drawing the smallest possible circles. A compass, also commonly known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs.

  8. Differentiable curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_curve

    A parametric C r-curve or a C r-parametrization is a vector-valued function: that is r-times continuously differentiable (that is, the component functions of γ are continuously differentiable), where , {}, and I is a non-empty interval of real numbers.

  9. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_geometry_of...

    Simple examples. A simple example of a regular surface is given by the 2-sphere {(x, y, z) | x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1}; this surface can be covered by six Monge patches (two of each of the three types given above), taking h(u, v) = ± (1 − u 2 − v 2) 1/2. It can also be covered by two local parametrizations, using stereographic projection.
