A grid applied within an image (instead of a page) using additional angular lines to guide proportions. In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved lines (grid lines) used to structure content.
The grid format also features prominently in minimalist and conceptual art of the 60's and 70's. The art theorist Rosalind Krauss writes, "In the temporal dimension, the grid is an emblem of modernity by being just that: the form that is ubiquitous in the art of our century, while appearing nowhere, nowhere at all, in the art of the last one.
English: Part a shows a rectilinear grid in the horizontal plane. Part b shows a curvilinear grid in the horizontal plane. Part c shows a z-level grid structure in the vertical plane. Part d shows a s-level grid structure in the vertical plane. This figure is taken from Delandmeter and van Sebille 2019 (Delandmeter, P. and van Sebille, E.:
A graphic design technique based on grid-work that began in the 19th century became inspiration for modifying the foundational course at the Basel School of Design in 1908. Shortly thereafter, in 1918 Ernst Keller became a professor at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich and began developing a graphic design and typography course. He did not teach a ...
9-slice scaling (also known as Scale 9 grid, 9-slicing or 9-patch) is a 2D image resizing technique to proportionally scale an image by splitting it in a grid of nine parts. [ 1 ] The key idea is to prevent image scaling distortion by protecting the pixels defined in 4 parts (corners) of the image and scaling or repeating the pixels in the ...
To design and develop computer software for the analysis and graphic display of spatial data. To distribute the resulting software to governmental agencies, educational organizations and interested professionals. To conduct research concerning the definition and analysis of spatial structure and process." [8]
