  Parallelepiped - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The parallelepipeds are the results of linear transformations of a cube (for the non-degenerate cases: the bijective linear transformations).
A cuboid is a parallelepiped of which all faces are rectangular.
A rhombohedron is a parallelepiped with all rhombic faces.

 Lord Kelvin | On Homogeneous Division of Space
Now, suppose any one pair of the tetrahedrons to be taken away from their positions in the primitive parallelepiped, and, by purely transitional motion, to be brought into position with their edges of length QD coincident, and the same to be done for each of the other two pairs.
Similarly two other parallelepipeds may be made by putting together the pairs that have edges of lengths equal to QB and QC respectively with those edges coincident, and finishing in each case with the remaining pair of tetrahedrons.
The three parallelepipeds thus found are essentially different from one another, and from the four of §10; and thus we have the seven parallelepipeds fulfilling the statement of §9.

 CGH at LSU: Dealing with VRML Objects
A wireframe model is constructed by first specifying the coordinates of various strategically placed points (vertices) that lie on the surface of the object, then specifying how subsets of these points are to be connected in sequence in order to form various polygons that coincide with individual (flat) segments of the surface.
One of the simplest examples is the wireframe model of a rectangular parallelepiped of width 2w, height 2h, and depth 2d, as depicted here in Figure III.4.
The entire surface of the rectangular parallelepiped shown in Figure III.4 can be completely specified by eight vertices (numbered 0 through 7 in the figure; but note that the vertex numbered zero is hidden from view) and six four-sided (rectangular) polygons.

 Finding the Volume of a Parallelpiped in Space: Application of Determinants
A parallelepiped is a 3-dimensional figure in which opposite faces are congruent parallelograms.
Note:  The volume of a parallelepiped can also be found by taking the determinant of the 3 by 3 matrix formed using each vector as a row in the matrix.
Since the determinant of the above matrix is 2, the volume of the parallelepiped formed from the vectors <1,2,1>, <-1,0,1>, and <0,1,2> is 2.

 PlanetMath: triple scalar product
Thus, the magnitude of the triple scalar product is equivalent to the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the three vectors.
(A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional object where opposing faces are parallel.
An example is a brick or sheared brick.)It follows that the triple scalar product of three coplanar or collinear vectors is then 0.

If the second button is clicked, your program should shade the faces of the parallelepiped so that adjacent faces are always shaded with different colors.
The bouncing of the parallelepiped should be performed using a pre-defined velocity and rotation speed about the main axis of the parallelepiped.
This means that your program needs to clip the parallelepiped against the walls of the room periodically before the centroid reaches a wall.

The parallelepiped classifier uses the class limits (LOLIM) and (UPLIM) stored in each class signature to determine if a given pixel falls within the class or not.
The class limits specify the dimensions (in standard deviation units) of each side of a parallelepiped surrounding the mean of the class in feature space.
The parallelepiped classifier is typically used when speed is required.

There are three types of multi-class classifiers available: the PARAllelepiped classifier (MAXL="PARA"); the FULL maximum likelihood classifier (MAXL="FULL"); and the TIES classifier which is a parallelepiped classifier which uses full maximum likelihood classification in the event of class ties.
The basic concept is to use parallelepiped classification unless we have a tie (overlap) in which case the tie is resolved by using full maximum likelihood classification.
This type of classification is an attempt to gain the speed of the parallelepiped classifier while eliminating the large number of pixels classed as ties (overlap).

 Quarky Volume Formula for Parallelepiped   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
{ A[(AxB).C] - C[(AxB).A] } Since the quantity (AxB).C equals the volume of the parallelepiped with the vectors A,B,C forming adjacent edges, it's clear that (AxB).A = 0, because two of the three edges are identical.
Both factors equal the volume of a parallelepiped with edges A,B,C, so the product equals [A.(BxC)]^2.
This is based on the volume formula V=ABC for rectangular solids, and the same degree of obviousness could be achieved in the general case if we had a suitable formula for the volume of a general parallelpiped.
