  2. Object copying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copying

    The resulting object is called an object copy or simply copy of the original object. Copying is basic but has subtleties and can have significant overhead. There are several ways to copy an object, most commonly by a copy constructor or cloning. Copying is done mostly so the copy can be modified or moved, or the current value preserved.

  3. Word spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_spacing

    Word spacing in typography is space between words, as contrasted with letter-spacing (space between letters of words) and sentence spacing (space between sentences). ). Typographers may modify the spacing of letters or words in a body of type to aid readability and copy fit, or for aesth

    When the letter X is preceded by a space, this means "by". For example, a chamfer may be called out as X [2] or ( ) number of places—for example, 8X or (8) When a dimension is used in multiple places either of these prefixes can be added to the dimension to define how many times this dimension is used. This example signifies eight places.

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  6. Typographic alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_alignment

    Since there is no added white space built into a typical full stop (period), other than that above the full stop itself, full stops contribute to the river effect in a limited way. At one time, common word-processing software adjusted only the spacing between words, which was a source of the river problem.

  7. Centre-to-centre distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre-to-centre_distance

    Centre-to-centre distance (c.t.c. distance or ctc distance) is a concept for distances, also called on-center spacing (o.c. spacing or oc spacing), heart distance, and pitch. It is the distance between the centre (the heart) of a column and the centre (the heart) of another column. By expressing a distance in c.t.c., one can measure distances ...

  8. Circle packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

    The spacing between the points determines the noise tolerance of the transmission, while the circumscribing circle diameter determines the transmitter power required. Performance is maximized when the constellation of code points are at the centres of an efficient circle packing. In practice, suboptimal rectangular packings are often used to ...
