    PlantUML uses Graphviz to generate UML diagrams from text descriptions. Puppet can produce DOT resource graphs that can be viewed with Graphviz. Scribus is an open-source DTP program that can use Graphviz to render graphs by using its internal editor in a special frame type called render frame.

  5. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    Such thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the thermometer. Another type of thermometer that is not really used much in practice, but is important from a theoretical standpoint, is the gas thermometer. Other important devices for measuring temperature include:

  6. Six's thermometer - Wikipedia

    T g = Globe thermometer temperature (measured with a globe thermometer, also known as a black globe thermometer) T d = Dry-bulb temperature (actual air temperature) Temperatures may be in either Celsius or Fahrenheit; Indoors the following formula is used: = +

  9. Bimetallic strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip

    A mechanical outdoor thermometer. A direct indicating dial thermometer, common in household devices (such as a patio thermometer or a meat thermometer), uses a bimetallic strip wrapped into a coil in its most common design. The coil changes the linear movement of the metal expansion into a circular movement thanks to the helicoidal shape it draws.
