  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. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    Set x ∞ = 0 and send the slope k ↦ x ∞ + x k ∈ F 8 ≅ F 2 [x] / (x 3 + x + 1), where now x k labels the vertices of K 7 with edge coloring, noting that F × 8 is a cyclic group of order 7. The symmetries of P 1 F 7 are Möbius transformations , and the basic transformations are reflections (order 2, k ↦ −1/ k ), translations (order ...

  6. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

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

    The same set of points can often be constructed using a smaller set of tools. For example, using a compass, straightedge, and a piece of paper on which we have the parabola y=x 2 together with the points (0,0) and (1,0), one can construct any complex number that has a solid construction. Likewise, a tool that can draw any ellipse with already ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Brocard points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocard_points

    is the Brocard midpoint of the anticomplementary triangle and is also the isotomic conjugate of the symmedian point. It is center X(76) in the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. The distance between the first two Brocard points P and Q is always less than or equal to half the radius R of the triangle's circumcircle: [1] [4]
