A set of the three most common French curves, also known as a Burmester set. The bottom object is most commonly used for hyperbolas; the smaller one above it is suited for ellipses. The large one is used mostly for parabolas. [1] A French curve is a template usually made from metal, wood or plastic composed of
Even though I took a drafting course, the French Curve in our geometry sets were never needed. All lines were straight or circular - as is the case for most basic drafting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.26.79.137 13:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC) French curves are used in drafting clothing patterns, like for neck and arm holes.

The meander is a fundamental design motif in regions far from a Hellenic orbit: labyrinthine meanders ("thunder" pattern [3]) appear in bands and as infill on Shang bronzes (c. 1600 BC – c. 1045 BC), and many traditional buildings in and around China still bear geometric designs almost identical to meanders.
In mathematics, physics, and art, moiré patterns (UK: / ˈ m w ɑː r eɪ / MWAH-ray, US: / m w ɑː ˈ r eɪ / mwah-RAY, [1] French: ⓘ) or moiré fringes [2] are large-scale interference patterns that can be produced when a partially opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is overlaid on another similar pattern. For the moiré ...
Similar to the Geodreieck, a number of other protractor triangle types exist for navigation purposes. Various designs are named navigation (protractor) triangle, nautical navigational triangle, nautical set square, Portland (navigational) triangle or Portland protractor triangle, Kent-type triangle, Inoue-type A/B nautical triangle or plotting triangle, course triangle, yachtsmen triangle, and ...
