In coordination chemistry and crystallography, the geometry index or structural parameter (τ) is a number ranging from 0 to 1 that indicates what the geometry of the coordination center is. The first such parameter for 5-coordinate compounds was developed in 1984. [1] Later, parameters for 4-coordinate compounds were developed. [2]
Figure 1: The point O is an external homothetic center for the two triangles. The size of each figure is proportional to its distance from the homothetic center. In geometry, a homothetic center (also called a center of similarity or a center of similitude) is a point from which at least two geometrically similar figures can be seen as a dilation or contraction of one another.
The dual of a cube is an octahedron.Vertices of one correspond to faces of the other, and edges correspond to each other. In geometry, every polyhedron is associated with a second dual structure, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other, and the edges between pairs of vertices of one correspond to the edges between pairs of faces of the other.

The Pappus graph. The Levi graph of the Pappus configuration is known as the Pappus graph.It is a bipartite symmetric cubic graph with 18 vertices and 27 edges. [3]Adding three more parallel lines to the Pappus configuration, through each triple of points that are not already connected by lines of the configuration, produces the Hesse configuration.
An antiparallelogram is a special case of a crossed quadrilateral, with two pairs of equal-length edges. [3] In general, crossed quadrilaterals can have unequal edges. [ 3 ] Special forms of the antiparallelogram are the crossed rectangles and crossed squares, obtained by replacing two opposite sides of a rectangle or square by the two diagonals.
A 3-simplex, with barycentric subdivisions of 1-faces (edges) 2-faces (triangles) and 3-faces (body). In geometry, a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane, a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space, etc.).
Similar figures. In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection.
The candidate basis is accepted if a sufficiently large number of the data points index a consistent object basis. Geometric hashing was originally suggested in computer vision for object recognition in 2D and 3D, [1] but later was applied to different problems such as structural alignment of proteins. [2] [3]
