	Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cartesian means relating to the French mathematician and philosopher Descartes, who, among other things, worked to merge algebra and Euclidean geometry.
		The modern Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions (also called a rectangular coordinate system) is commonly defined by two axes, at right angles to each other, forming a plane (an xy-plane).
		In analytic geometry the Cartesian coordinate system is the foundation for the algebraic manipulation of geometrical shapes.

		Cartesian coordinates, also called rectangular coordinates, provide a method of rendering graphs and indicating the positions of points on a two-dimensional (2D) surface or in three-dimensional (3D) space.
		The Cartesian coordinate system is used to define positions on computer displays and in virtual reality (VR) renderings.
		The Cartesian plane consists of two perpendicular axes that cross at a central point called the origin.
