If x and y are horizontal, z is vertical; if x and z are horizontal, y is vertical. The words horizontal and vertical are generally used in a planar (2-dimensional) sense, not spatial (3-dimensional). Which is the reason you may not find a word corresponding to the third dimension along with horizontal and vertical.
Is there one word for both horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal, adjacency? Ask Question Asked 11 years, 7 months ago Modified 1 year, 7 months ago
According to Wikipedia's architectural drawing page: A cross section, also simply called a section, represents a vertical plane cut through the object, in the same way as a floor plan is a horizontal section viewed from the top. This would suggest that section is only appropriate for vertical planes. However, section is more generally defined as, per dictionary.com: a representation of an ...
The convention is that x would occupy the horizontal axis, while y occupies the vertical axis, regardless if x is plotted against y, or y against x. Visually, which often would appear mutually indiscriminatable for 1-1 mapping plots.
The intersection of the vertical plane with the horizontal plane would form a transverse. This medical definition from thefreedictionary.com describes: transverse plane of space, n an imaginary plane that cuts the body in two, separating the superior half from the inferior half, and that lies at a right angle from the body's vertical axis.
Is there a single verb that means to increase the vertical dimension of something? (For purposes of this question it does not matter whether they're doing that by modifying the floor or the ceiling.) Raise is not correct because raising doesn't change size, only elevation.
I searched on google and came up with over-under in an article about shotgun barrels comparison. Also, over-under image search yields mostly shotgun images. Is this the vertical equivalent of side-by-
Air shaft: (architecture) A vertical (or near vertical) opening (shaft) running from a courtyard to the sky, thus allowing air to circulate to high-rise apartments or offices. [Wikitionary] Or air well Air well: a court enclosed within walls and open at the top for supplying air to windows — called also air shaft. [Merriam Webster]
If 'horizontal' follows the horizon, and 'vertical' ascends from the horizon, is there a word for a line from the viewer to the horizon? Otherwise, is there a broadly accepted business term for describing data where there are two horizontals, but one is an iterative representation of the first?
To speak of a vertical row would seem somehow perverse. It would seem far more meaningful to speak of arranging things in a vertical line—to distinguish this line from some other possible line in a different orientation. (It might seem even more normal to speak of columns, but that is outside the scope of this Question.)
