Jan 31, 2012 · horizontal, vertical, distal. There is no standard term for this, but distal seems to fit both aesthetically and etymologically with the other two (horizontal from horizon, and vertical ultimately from vertex "highest point"), assuming the following perspective: with distal referring to "distant" points.

If I want to speak of North, South, East, West in a general sense I could, for example, use the term cardinal direction. Which term is appropriate to sum up horizontal and vertical in the same man...

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?

"Vertical against horizontal", and, if you choose the almost (but not quite) universal convention of having x-values along the horizontal axis, and the variables are x and y, 'y against x'. There is the complication that the horizontal axis is usually called the 'x-axis'; this doesn't matter when you're plotting v against t (or t against v ...

Apr 19, 2014 · In this case, I like the term axial to describe a direction that is along the horizontal or vertical axis relative to the current position. Axial - situated around, in the direction of, on, or along an axis.

The terms can overlap again, though, in technical areas. In tables or databases it is common to speak of rows and columns, with an emphatic horizontal/vertical contrast in those terms: a row is implicitly horizontal, and cannot be mistaken for a column. It is also perfectly intelligible, however, to speak of ‘lines in tables’.

Apr 13, 2016 · 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.

Jul 19, 2017 · I propose plan section for a section on a horizontal plane, and sectional elevation for a section on a vertical plane. 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.

Sep 8, 2015 · I down-voted this. Orthogonal does not imply horizontal and vertical movement. Orthogonal implies that one movement is at a right angle with respect to the other. Horizontal and diagonal movements are thus always orthogonal, but two diagonal movements can also be orthogonal to each other.

Feb 21, 2018 · I am thinking “vert” and “horiz” could be good, for vertical and horizontal. But I'm not sure if they would add to confusion, since they deviate from the standard terminology. I am also considering “port” and “land” as well, but I don't like that those words have their own meanings by themselves. It could cause confusion.
