Geometry deals with the measures and properties of points, lines and surfaces In ArcInfo, geometry is used to represent the spatial component of geographic features
study of math shown by drawing pictures -- "Geometry can be thought of either way, applying pictures to numbers, or assigning numbers to pictures " (243)
The geometrical part of a B-Rep model is made of points, curves and surfaces In opposition, the topological part is made of solids, shells, faces, vertices, etc
The geometry of an object is its shape or the relationship of its parts to each other. They have tinkered with the geometry of the car's nose. the study in mathematics of the angles and shapes formed by the relationships of lines, surfaces, and solid objects in space (géométrie, from geometria , from ge ( GEO-) + metron ). algebraic geometry analytic geometry differential geometry elliptic geometry Euclidean geometry fractal geometry hyperbolic geometry non Euclidean geometry projective geometry
a very abstract class, encapsulating both the concepts of traditional geometry as well as other classes containing measured data, and organizational methods used to organize these traditional geometry and other 'real' data classes within an environment
When referring to disk drives, the physical characteristics of the disk drive's internal organization Note that a disk drive may report a "logical geometry" that is different from its "physical geometry," normally to get around BIOS-related limitations See also Cylinder, Head and Sector
The mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids A system of geometry: Euclidean geometry A geometry restricted to a class of problems or objects: solid geometry
(n) The mathematical method by which elements in space are described and manipulated Geometry forms the building blocks of engineering and technical graphics The term is also used to mean shape or form
That branch of mathematics which investigates the relations, properties, and measurement of solids, surfaces, lines, and angles; the science which treats of the properties and relations of magnitudes; the science of the relations of space
Type of entity that defines physical shapes; including points, curves, surfaces, solids, and relations (collections of similarly structured entities) The lines, arcs, curves, and points, that define an element's position and appearance in the design The setting which determines whether parametric solids are stored in design files as surfaces, lines, line strings, or arcs
Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relationships of lines, angles, curves, and shapes. the very ordered way in which mathematics and geometry describe nature
the study of the measurements of lengths, angles, area, and volumes; the study of the relationships between points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids Some of these change when a surface is deformed
Geometry comes from two Greek words meaning "earth measurement " Geometry began as a study of how to measure the Earth (as in map-making) or to measure the Earth in relation to the rest of the universe (as in astronomy) Geometry today is more a study of physical spaces in general For example, geometry can be used to figure out the area of a house or a football field Geometry is very important in the design and manufacturing of most products Children's Encyclopedia Britannica, vol 8, p 101-102, 1989
Geometry deals with the measures and properties of points, lines and surfaces In ARC/INFO, geometry is used to represent the spatial component of geographic features
