  2. Quadrant (plane geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_(plane_geometry)

    The four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. The axes themselves are, in general, not part of the respective quadrants.

  3. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    A Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions (also called a rectangular coordinate system or an orthogonal coordinate system [8]) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines (axes), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis. The point where the axes meet is taken as the origin for both, thus turning ...

    A small portion of the Cartesian coordinate system, showing the origin, axes, and the four quadrants, with illustrative points and grid. Date: 8 September 2008: Source: Made by K. Bolino , based upon earlier versions. Author: K. Bolino: Permission (Reusing this file) Insofar as to the work original to me,

  5. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    Gaspard Monge's four quadrants and two planes. Modern orthographic projection is derived from Gaspard Monge's descriptive geometry. [4] Monge defined a reference system of two viewing planes, horizontal H ("ground") and vertical V ("backdrop"). These two planes intersect to partition 3D space into 4 quadrants, which he labeled: I: above H, in ...

  6. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined by the signs of the coordinates. It is analogous to the two-dimensional quadrant and the one-dimensional ...

  8. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2,3) in green, (−3,1) in red, (−1.5,−2.5) in blue, and the origin (0,0) in purple. In analytic geometry, the plane is given a coordinate system, by which every point has a pair of real number coordinates.

  9. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    Another common coordinate system for the plane is the polar coordinate system. [7] A point is chosen as the pole and a ray from this point is taken as the polar axis. For a given angle θ, there is a single line through the pole whose angle with the polar axis is θ (measured counterclockwise from the axis to the line).
