  2. Grid plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_plan

    Traditional orthogonal grid patterns generally have greater street frequencies than discontinuous patterns. For example, Portland's block is 200 feet × 200 feet while Miletus' is half that size and Timgad's half again (see diagram). Houston, Sacramento and Barcelona are progressively bigger reaching up to four times the area of Portland's block.

  3. Grid classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_classification

    Fig.2 Orthogonal Grids Fig.3 Non-Orthogonal Grids. a) Structured curvilinear grid arrangements (vertices having similar neighborhood). b) Unstructured grid arrangements (vertices having variation in neighborhood). Structured curvilinear grids. 1) Grid points are identified at the intersection of coordinate line.

  4. Orthogonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality

    The line segments AB and CD are perpendicular to each other. In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of perpendicularity.Although many authors use the two terms perpendicular and orthogonal interchangeably, the term perpendicular is more specifically used for lines and planes that intersect to form a right angle, whereas orthogonal is used in generalizations ...

  5. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

    A conformal map acting on a rectangular grid. Note that the orthogonality of the curved grid is retained. While vector operations and physical laws are normally easiest to derive in Cartesian coordinates, non-Cartesian orthogonal coordinates are often used instead for the solution of various problems, especially boundary value problems, such as those arising in field theories of quantum ...

  6. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  7. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    When two cells in the Voronoi diagram share a boundary, it is a line segment, ray, or line, consisting of all the points in the plane that are equidistant to their two nearest sites. The vertices of the diagram, where three or more of these boundaries meet, are the points that have three or more equally distant nearest sites.

  8. Fused grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_grid

    A diagram showing the nested hierarchy of roads in the fused grid transportation network. The orthogonal geometry serves two purposes: a) to enhance the navigability of the network structure particularly at the district and regional scale. This is important at car speeds where decisions about destinations and turns have to be made promptly.

  9. Axonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometry

    In the diagram, the circle contained in the front face is undistorted. If the image of a circle is an ellipse, one can map four points on orthogonal diameters and the surrounding square of tangents and in the image parallelogram fill-in an ellipse by hand.
