  2. Constraint (computer-aided design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint_(computer-aided...

    The shaft and pulleys share a common centerline. The constraints of the key are set in relation to the keyseat. A constraint in computer-aided design (CAD) software is a limitation or restriction imposed by a designer or an engineer upon geometric properties [1]: 203 of an entity of a design model (i.e. sketch) that maintains its structure as the model is manipulated.

  3. List of interactive geometry software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive...

    Interactive geometry software (IGS) or dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) are computer programs which allow one to create and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry. In most IGS, one starts construction by putting a few points and using them to define new objects such as lines , circles or other points.

  4. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Creating the point at the intersection of two (non-parallel) lines; Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of a line and a circle (if they intersect) Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of two circles (if they intersect). For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either ...

  5. Hypercycle (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercycle_(geometry)

    A Poincaré disk showing the hypercycle HC that is determined by the straight line L (termed straight because it cuts the horizon at right angles) and point P. In hyperbolic geometry, a hypercycle, hypercircle or equidistant curve is a curve whose points have the same orthogonal distance from a given straight line (its axis).

  6. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    If the cutting plane is perpendicular to a line joining the centers of two opposite faces of the cube, the cross-section will be a square, however, if the cutting plane is perpendicular to a diagonal of the cube joining opposite vertices, the cross-section can be either a point, a triangle or a hexagon.

  7. Plücker coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_coordinates

    Alternatively, a line can be described as the intersection of two planes. Let L be a line contained in distinct planes a and b with homogeneous coefficients (a 0 : a 1 : a 2 : a 3) and (b 0 : b 1 : b 2 : b 3), respectively. (The first plane equation is =, for example.)

  8. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    Note that with the cube (see image) the perimeter of the resulting 2D drawing is a perfect regular hexagon: all the black lines have equal length and all the cube's faces are the same area. Isometric graph paper can be placed under a normal piece of drawing paper to help achieve the effect without calculation.

  9. 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 ...
