2. Oval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval

   The term oval when used to describe curves in geometry is not well-defined, except in the context of projective geometry. Many distinct curves are commonly called ovals or are said to have an "oval shape". Generally, to be called an oval, a plane curve should resemble the outline of an egg or an ellipse. In particular, these are common traits ...

5. Capsule (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   A two-dimensional orthographic projection at the left with a three-dimensional one at the right depicting a capsule. A capsule (from Latin capsula, "small box or chest"), or stadium of revolution, is a basic three-dimensional geometric shape consisting of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. [1]

6. Stadium (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   The shape is based on a stadium, a place used for athletics and horse racing tracks. A stadium may be constructed as the Minkowski sum of a disk and a line segment. [6] Alternatively, it is the neighborhood of points within a given distance from a line segment. A stadium is a type of oval.

8. Oval (projective plane) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval_(projective_plane)

   To the definition of an oval: e: exterior (passing) line, t: tangent, s: secant. In projective geometry an oval is a point set in a plane that is defined by incidence properties. The standard examples are the nondegenerate conics. However, a conic is only defined in a pappian plane, whereas an oval may exist in any type of projective plane. In ...
