  2. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    In geometry, an arrangement of lines is the subdivision of the Euclidean plane formed by a finite set of lines. An arrangement consists of bounded and unbounded convex polygons , the cells of the arrangement, line segments and rays , the edges of the arrangement, and points where two or more lines cross, the vertices of the arrangement.

  3. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus in differential geometry, a line may be interpreted as a geodesic (shortest path between points), while in some projective geometries, a line is a 2-dimensional vector space (all linear combinations of two independent vectors). This flexibility also extends beyond mathematics and, for example, permits physicists to think of the path of a ...

  4. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    The principal vanishing point is the vanishing point of all horizontal lines perpendicular to the picture plane. The vanishing points of all horizontal lines lie on the horizon line. If, as is often the case, the picture plane is vertical, all vertical lines are drawn vertically, and have no finite vanishing point on the picture plane.

  5. Vertical and horizontal bundles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal...

    Vertical and horizontal subspaces for the Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a line bundle over the circle, and the circle can be pictured as the middle ring of the strip. . At each point on the strip, the projection map projects it towards the middle ring, and the fiber is perpendicular to the middle ri

  6. Vertical and horizontal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal

    Through any point P in the plane, there is one and only one vertical line within the plane and one and only one horizontal line within the plane. This symmetry breaks down as one moves to the three-dimensional case. A vertical line is any line parallel to the vertical direction. A horizontal line is any line normal to a vertical line.

    Type F lines are Type E lines, except these are used for drawings in electrotechnology. 2H pencil; Type G lines are used for centre lines. These are dotted lines, but a long line of 10–20 mm, then a 1 mm gap, then a small line of 2 mm. 2H pencil; Type H lines are the same as type G, except that every second long line is thicker. These ...

  8. Curvilinear perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_perspective

    Curvilinear barrel distortion Curvilinear pincushion distortion. Curvilinear perspective, also five-point perspective, is a graphical projection used to draw 3D objects on 2D surfaces, for which (straight) lines on the 3D object are projected to curves on the 2D surface that are typically not straight (hence the qualifier "curvilinear" [citation needed]).

  9. Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

    In topology, a curve is defined by a function from an interval of the real numbers to another space. [49] In differential geometry, the same definition is used, but the defining function is required to be differentiable. [53] Algebraic geometry studies algebraic curves, which are defined as algebraic varieties of dimension one. [54]
