Graphics Flashcards
this is the three-dimensional geometry - forming the background for practical applications of the graphic language and through which many of its problems may be solved graphically.
Descriptive Geometry
these terms properly apply only to a drawing made with drawing instruments. The use of “mechanical drawing” to denote all industrial drawings is unfortunate not only because such drawings are not always mechanically drawn, but also because that usage tends the belittle the broad scope of the graphic language by naming it superficially for its principal mode of execution.
Instrumental Drawing and Mechanical Drawing
this is the application of conventional computer techniques (with the aid of one of many graphic data processing systems available to the analysis, modification, and finalizing a graphical solution.
Computer Graphics
The use of computers to produce technical drawing is called:
Computer Aided Design (CAD)
Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD)
A person who prepares drawing or portrays graphically is a
Draftsman
- includes large areas and consequently must be drawn to small scale. They show important towns and cities, streams and bodies of water, political boundaries
Geographic map
complete description of certain areas and
show to larger scale the geographical positions of the natural features and the works of man such as buildings, bridges, etc.
Topographic Map
Ideals with the information concerning bodies of water and shorelines, sounding depth, sub-aqueous contour navigation aids and water control.
Hydrographic Map
one of the very accurate control maps for either cities or towns made to large scale with all features drawn to scale. They are used to control city developments and operations particularly taxation and transfer of property lot of city additions, mineral rights, form surveys and the like that fall in this group. It controls property ownership.
Cadastral map
working maps for engineering projects are classified for specific purposes such as for the reconnaissance of construction maintenance purposes. They provide accurate horizontal and vertical control data and show objects on the site along the right way.
Engineering Map
represent features on the earth’s surface from territorial and aerial photographs. These photographs and perspective are sources from which orthographic views are obtained by stereoscopic instruments. Ground control stations are necessary to bring the photograph to the required datum.
Photogrammetric Map
designed to contain information of military importance in the area presented.
Military Map
used in planning installations of trees, shrubbery, driveways, etc. in the artistic design of area improvement.
Landscape Map
- lines drawn on a map to locate in the plan views, points of equal ground elevations. On a single contour line, therefore, all points have the same
elevation.
Contour
short parallel or slightly divergent lines drawn in the direction of the slope. They are closely spaced on steep slopes and converge toward the tops
