An undefined term for a flat, infinite two-dimensional shape

A plane is a hand tool designed to trim wood by shaving it. An angled blade extends below the bottom edge of the tool so that it shaves the wood as it is drawn across its surface. Planing with the grain of the wood leaves the wood with a smooth surface. Planing across (or against) the grain leaves a rougher surface.

This term refers to the plane that you studied in high school geometry. A fractal image is a visualization of a mathematical algorithm, applied to the points on a portion of the plane. Ray Tracing: A description of this technique for rendering three dimensional scenes is covered in About Digital Art, with links to a detailed explanation. Render: The actual process whereby the computer calculates the colors of each pixel in the image. The colored pixels are saved as data in a file. A rendered image suitable for printing will contain millions of pixels and the rendering process can take from a few seconds to several hours. Square Function: The square function simply takes a number and multiplies it by itself. So, the square of is the square of is The square of a complex number x+iy is ( x + iy)·( x + iy) which is equal to x2 - y2 + 2ixy.

a smooth flat surface

A region of space defined by a minimum of three noncoincident points in space. For the simplest type of plane surface, all points can be described by two coordinate axes; that is, the plane has no curvature.

This hand tool's sole function is to smooth and form wood. Although there are many specialized planes for furniture-making and other tasks, a smoothing plane and a block plane will suffice for most DIY projects. Home Improvement Encyclopedia

A flat (2 dimensional) surface

Latin planus = flat; hence, a real or imaginary flat surface.

A flat surface that extends without end in all directions.

The perpendicular surface in the direction of the gaze, representing depth or distancing from an actual or imagined scene in perspective.

To dream that you use a plane, denotes that your liberality and successful efforts will be highly commended. To see carpenters using their planes, denotes that you will progress smoothly in your undertakings. To dream of seeing planes, denotes congeniality and even success. A love of the real, and not the false, is portended by this dream.

1. A flat, level, even surface. 2. Flat based, hand held carpentry tool for smoothing and shaping wood. The bottom has a flat base with a slot which has a blade that shaves and smoothes the wood when the plan is moved across the surface. The blade may be adjusted to make a deeper cut. 3. A level of achievement.

In general, a flat surface.

In mathematics, a plane is a fundamental two-dimensional object. Intuitively, it may be visualized as a flat infinite sheet of paper. There are several definitions of the plane, equivalent in the sense of Euclidean geometry, but which can be extended in different ways to define objects in other areas of mathematics.

A boat planes when she sails over her own bow wave, so that only a small section of the hull is in the water. This in turn allows the boat to go faster than the theoretical maximum hull speed.

Plane refers to the changes in the surface of the water in relation to the speed of the boat.
