Shape ... to create new designs. The foundation of shape grammars in architectural design have been defined in a seminal article by George Stiny and James Gips in 1971. Definition A shape grammar consists of shape rules and a generation engine that selects and processes rules. A shape rule defines how an existing part of a shape can be transformed. A shape rule consists of two parts separated by an arrow ... a condition in terms of a shape and a marker. The part right of the arrow is termed the Right Hand Side RHS . It depicts how the LHS shape should be transformed and where the marker is positioned. The marker helps to locate and orient the new shape. A shape grammar minimally consists of three shape rules a start rule , at least one transformation rule, and a termination rule . The start rule is necessary to start the shape generation process. The termination rule is necessary to make the shape generation process stop. The simplest way to stop the process is by a shape rule that removes the marker. A shape grammar system additionally has a working area where the created geometry is displayed ... of the shape rules. Shape rules with matching LHS are eligible for use.

Implementation Applications can only create rectangular windows, but can then change their shape to be an arbitrary part of the original rectangle.

orphan date December 2009 A two dimensional equable shape or perfect shape is one whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter . For example, a right triangle right angled triangle with sides 5, 12 and 13 has area and perimeter both equal to 30 Units of measurement units . An area cannot be equal to a length except relative to a particular unit of measurement. For example, if shape has an area of 5 square yards and a perimeter of 5 yards, then it has an area of convert 45 sqft m2 and a perimeter of 15 feet since 3 feet 1 yard and hence 9 square feet 1 square yard . Moreover, contrary to what the name implies, changing the size while leaving the shape intact changes an equable shape into a non equable shape. However its common use as GCSE coursework has led to its being an accepted concept. For any shape, there is a Similarity geometry similar equable shape if a shape S has perimeter p and area A , then Scaling geometry scaling S by a factor of p A leads to an equable shape. Alternatively, one may find equable shapes by setting up and solving an equation in which the area equals the perimeter. In the case of the square, for instance, this equation is math displaystyle x 2 4x. math Solving this yields that x 4, so a 4 × 4 square is equable. In Three dimensional space three dimensions , a shape is equable when its surface area is numerically equal to its volume . Equable solids As with equable shapes in two dimensions, you may find an equable solid, in which the volume is numerically equal to the surface area, by scaling any solid by an appropriate factor.

unref date March 2010 Shape tables were a powerful yet little used feature of Applesoft BASIC allowing for simple graphic manipulation on Apple II series computers, using the Apple II graphics hi res HGR HGR2 graphics mode . The Tuple vector s of a two dimensional graphic, each encoding a direction from the previous pixel along with a flag indicating whether the new pixel should be illuminated or not, were encoded up to three in a byte. These were stored in a table via the Monitor or the code PEEK and POKE POKE code command. From there, the graphic could be referenced by number a table could contain up to 255 shapes , and built in Applesoft routines permitted scaling, rotating, and drawing or erasing the shape. An XOR mode was also available to allow the shape to be visible on any color background this had the advantage, also, of allowing the shape to be erased by redrawing it. Apple did not provide any utilities for creating shape tables they had to be created by hand, usually by plotting on graph paper, then calculating the hexadecimal values and entering them into the computer. Beagle Bros created a shape table editing program, which eliminated the number crunching , called Apple Mechanic , and a related program, Font Mechanic . Applesoft s high resolution graphics routines were not optimized for speed, so shape tables were not typically used for performance critical software such as games, which were typically written in assembly language and used pre shifted bitmap shapes. Shape tables were used primarily for static shapes and sometimes for fancy text Beagle Bros offered a number of fonts in Font Mechanic as Applesoft shape tables.

In the case of two dimensional Josephson junctions thick long Josephson junction s with an extra dimension described by the 2D sine Gordon equation , shape waves are distortions of a Josephson vortex line of an arbitrary profile. Shape waves have remarkable properties exhibiting Lorentz contraction and time dilation similar to that in special relativity . Position of the shape wave excitation on a Josephson vortex acts like a minute hand showing the time in the rest frame associated with the vortex. At some conditions, a moving vortex with the shape excitation can have less energy than the same vortex without it. References cite journal doi 10.1103 PhysRevLett.101.127002 author D. R.

In statistics , the concept of the shape of the distribution refers to the shape of a probability distribution and it most often arises in questions of finding an appropriate distribution to use to model the statistical properties of a population, given a sample from that population. The shape of a distribution may be considered either descriptively, using terms such as J shaped , or numerically, using quantitative measures such as skewness and kurtosis . Considerations of the shape of a distribution arise in statistical data analysis , where simple quantitative descriptive statistics and plotting techniques such as histograms can lead on to the selection of a particular family of distributions for modelling purposes. File Standard deviation diagram.svg right thumb 350px The Normal distribution , often called the bell curve Image Exponential distribution pdf.png thumb Exponential distribution Descriptions of shape The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include mounded or unimodal , U shaped, J shaped, reverse J shaped and multi modal. ref Yule & Kendall 1950 Chapter 4 &mdash Frequency Distributions ref A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is sometimes characterised by the behaviours of the tails as in a long or short tail . For example a flat distribution can be said either to have no tails, or to have short tails. A normal distribution is usually regarded as having short tails, while an exponential distribution has exponential tails and a Pareto distribution has long tails. Even in the relatively simple case of a mounded distribution, the distribution may be skewed to the left or skewed to the right, with symmetric corresponding to no skew.
