  2. Geometric drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_drawing

    Geometric drawing made with ruler and compass. Geometric drawing consists of a set of processes for constructing geometric shapes and solving problems with the use of a ruler without graduation and the compass (drawing tool). [1] [2] Modernly, such studies can be done with the aid of software, which simulates the strokes performed by these ...

  3. Ruler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler

    In geometry, straight lines between points may be drawn using a straightedge (ruler without any markings on it). Furthermore, it is also used to draw accurate graphs and tables. A ruler and compass construction is a construction that uses a ruler and a compass. It is possible to bisect an angle into two equal parts with a ruler and compass.

  4. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections. Drawing lines between the two original points and one of these new points completes the construction of an equilateral triangle. Therefore, in any geometric problem we have an initial set of symbols (points and lines), an algorithm, and some results.

  5. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    A common definition used in digital image processing (image analysis) for characterizing 2-D shapes is: Roundness = ⁠ Perimeter 2 / 4 π × Area ⁠. This ratio will be 1 for a circle and greater than 1 for non-circular shapes. Another definition is the inverse of that: Roundness = ⁠ 4 π × Area / Perimeter 2 ⁠,

  6. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    In addition to the mastery of the mechanics of drawing lines, arcs and circles (and text) onto a piece of paper—with respect to the detailing of physical objects—the drafting effort requires a thorough understanding of geometry, trigonometry and spatial comprehension, and in all cases demands precision and accuracy, and attention to detail ...

  7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model—the direct analog of "scaling the drawing"—becomes ridiculous; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be "not to scale". A 2D pencil drawing can be inaccurately ...

  8. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Important theorems of screw theory include: the transfer principle proves that geometric calculations for points using vectors have parallel geometric calculations for lines obtained by replacing vectors with screws; [1] Chasles' theorem proves that any change between two rigid object poses can be performed by a single screw; Poinsot's theorem ...

  9. Datum reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datum_reference

    A datum reference or just datum (plural: datums [Note 1]) is some important part of an object—such as a point, line, plane, hole, set of holes, or pair of surfaces—that serves as a reference in defining the geometry of the object and (often) in measuring aspects of the actual geometry to assess how closely they match with the nominal value, which may be an ideal, standard, average, or ...
