  2. Parallel curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve

    [7] Except in the case of a line or circle, the parallel curves have a more complicated mathematical structure than the progenitor curve. [1] For example, even if the progenitor curve is smooth, its offsets may not be so; this property is illustrated in the top figure, using a sine curve as progenitor curve. [2]

  3. Parallel coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_coordinates

    For example, a set of points on a line in n-space transforms to a set of polylines in parallel coordinates all intersecting at n − 1 points. For n = 2 this yields a point-line duality pointing out why the mathematical foundations of parallel coordinates are developed in the projective rather than euclidean space. A pair of lines intersects at ...

  4. Signed area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_area

    The blue area above the x-axis may be specified as positive area, while the yellow area below the x-axis is the negative area. The integral of a real function can be imagined as the signed area between the x {\displaystyle x} -axis and the curve y = f ( x ) {\displaystyle y=f(x)} over an interval [ a , b ].

  5. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    the distance between the two lines can be found by locating two points (one on each line) that lie on a common perpendicular to the parallel lines and calculating the distance between them. Since the lines have slope m, a common perpendicular would have slope −1/m and we can take the line with equation y = −x/m as a common perpendicular ...

  6. Equirectangular projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection

    Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...

  7. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    Because the lines are parallel, the perpendicular distance between them is a constant, so it does not matter which point is chosen to measure the distance.

  8. Planar graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph

    In graph theory, a planar graph is a graph that can be embedded in the plane, i.e., it can be drawn on the plane in such a way that its edges intersect only at their endpoints. In other words, it can be drawn in such a way that no edges cross each other. [1] [2] Such a drawing is called a plane graph, or a planar embedding of the graph.

  9. Ultraparallel theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraparallel_theorem

    Let r and s be two ultraparallel lines.. From any two distinct points A and C on s draw AB and CB' perpendicular to r with B and B' on r.. If it happens that AB = CB', then the desired common perpendicular joins the midpoints of AC and BB' (by the symmetry of the Saccheri quadrilateral ACB'B).
