  2. Two-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_space

    A two-dimensional space is a mathematical space with two dimensions, meaning points have two degrees of freedom: their locations can be locally described with two coordinates or they can move in two independent directions. Common two-dimensional spaces are often called planes, or, more generally, surfaces.

  3. Plane (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(mathematics)

    A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space. When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, so the Euclidean plane refers to the whole space. Several notions of a plane may be defined.

  4. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    In Euclidean geometry, a plane is a flat two- dimensional surface that extends indefinitely. Euclidean planes often arise as subspaces of three-dimensional space . A prototypical example is one of a room's walls, infinitely extended and assumed infinitesimal thin. While a pair of real numbers suffices to describe points on a plane, the ...

  5. Dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

    In mathematics. In mathematics, the dimension of an object is, roughly speaking, the number of degrees of freedom of a point that moves on this object. In other words, the dimension is the number of independent parameters or coordinates that are needed for defining the position of a point that is constrained to be on the object.

  6. 2.5D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D

    2.5D (basic pronunciation two-and-a-half dimensional) perspective refers to gameplay or movement in a video game or virtual reality environment that is restricted to a two-dimensional (2D) plane with little or no access to a third dimension in a space that otherwise appears to be three-dimensional and is often simulated and rendered in a 3D digital environment.

  7. 2D computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2D_computer_graphics

    2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images —mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. It may refer to the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques or to the models themselves. Raster graphic sprites (left) and masks.

  8. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    Using words, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance of X . The standard deviation of a probability distribution is the same as that of a random variable having that distribution. Not all random variables have a standard deviation.

  9. 2D geometric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2D_geometric_model

    2D geometric model. A 2D geometric model is a geometric model of an object as a two-dimensional figure, usually on the Euclidean or Cartesian plane . Even though all material objects are three-dimensional, a 2D geometric model is often adequate for certain flat objects, such as paper cut-outs and machine parts made of sheet metal.
