  2. Point-set triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-set_triangulation

    The Delaunay triangulation of a set of points in the plane contains the Gabriel graph, the nearest neighbor graph and the minimal spanning tree of . Triangulations have a number of applications, and there is an interest to find the "good" triangulations of a given point set under some criteria as, for instance minimum-weight triangulations .

  3. Ternary plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_plot

    There are three equivalent methods that can be used to determine the values of a point on the plot: Parallel line or grid method. The first method is to use a diagram grid consisting of lines parallel to the triangle edges. A parallel to a side of the triangle is the locus of points constant in the component situated in the vertex opposed to ...

  4. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    Such a method is a simple way to create an arithmetic spiral, arising naturally from use of a string compass with winding pin (not the loose pivot of a common string compass). The string compass drawing tool has various modifications and designs, and this construction method is reminiscent of string-based methods for creating ellipses (with two ...

  5. Compass equivalence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_equivalence_theorem

    Given points A, B, and C, construct a circle centered at A with the radius BC, using only a collapsing compass and no straightedge. Draw a circle centered at A and passing through B and vice versa (the blue circles). They will intersect at points D and D'. Draw circles through C with centers at D and D' (the red circles). Label their other ...

  6. Compass (drawing tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_(drawing_tool)

    A beam compass and a regular compass Using a compass A compass with an extension accessory for larger circles A bow compass capable of drawing the smallest possible circles. A compass, also commonly known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs.

  7. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    The configuration consisting of the three points of a triangle and the three lines joining pairs of these points is represented by a 6-cycle in the Heawood graph. A color-preserving automorphism of the Heawood graph that fixes each vertex of a 6-cycle must be the identity automorphism. [ 2 ]

  8. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

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

    For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing through the other point). 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 ...

  9. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    One of the sensors is typically a digital camera device, and the other one can also be a camera or a light projector. The projection centers of the sensors and the considered point on the object's surface define a (spatial) triangle. Within this triangle, the distance between the sensors is the base b and must be known. By determining the ...
