  Three-Dimensional Graphics Directives
In three dimensions, just as in two dimensions, you can give various graphics directives to specify how the different elements in a graphics object should be rendered.
Note that in three dimensions, the lengths that appear in these directives are measured as fractions of the total width of the display area for your plot.
An important aspect of polygons in three dimensions is that they have both front and back faces.

 Eastgate: beyond space
While people inhabit three dimensions, the often describe the way they move in two; when people build three-dimensional living spaces, they usually flatten each unit into a simple, approximately two-dimensional topology.
It is true, of course, that the familiar box-and-line diagrams we sometimes use to represent hypertext structures are easier to draw in three dimensions than in two; in three dimensions, the lines don't keep crossing each other.
Three dimensions are too many; mapping hypertexts into space forces us to accept juxtapositions that are irrelevant or distracting.

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions.
In trying to convince the sphere of this possibility, the square uses the same logic that the sphere used to argue the existence of three dimensions.
The extended dimensions are the three spatial dimensions that we're familiar with, and the curled-up dimension is found deep within the extended dimensions and can be thought of as a circle.

 The Three Dimensions of Fluid Condition Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Dimension one, fluid health analysis, involves an inspection of the fluids physical, chemical, and additive properties to assure that the fluid is capable of operating in its designed function.
The third dimension of fluid condition management, wear or damage analysis, is most effective when it is avoided altogether.
While these three dimensions of fluid condition management are very interdependent, one should clearly understand how each dimension impacts productivity and profitability so that information is gathered an assimilated to support effective maintenance decision making.

And there are three dimensions of any complete life to which we can fitly give the words of this text: length, breadth, and height.
When you get all three of these together, you look up and every valley will be exalted, and every hill and mountain will be made low; the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh will see it together.

 CowPi: Three Dimensions of Spirituality
A person strong in this dimension is a little harder to identify, but they tend to find strength, energy, confidence, and peace from within, drawing from an inner source, often unknown to be deeply rooted in God.
By balancing all three dimensions in your unique way, you will be able to tap into the unlimited energy, peace, and love of God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
It is also no coincidence that the three dimensions of spirituality are imbedded within the idea of Third in Line—God first, others second, me third.

A star tracker, which was flown on two shuttle flights, was refocused to look at three small light-emitting diodes mounted on the outboard antenna.
Three burns to raise the shuttle's altitude were combined into two, saving 59 kilograms of propellant; dumping wastewater through a nozzle instead of a radiator system saved 32.2 kilograms; and decreasing how precisely the shuttle aimed itself saved 113 kilograms.
All the radar data were collected during a single, 11-day shuttle mission, and the data will be processed to the same specifications, ensuring that the topographic maps will have the same characteristics.

Protons and anti-protons zip through this tunnel at Fermilab, where experiments may be able to detect signs of other dimensions, beyond the familiar three dimensions of space and one of time.
In the past decade string theorists have suggested that at least some of the extra spatial dimensions can be probed indirectly at energies far lower than the big bang, and perhaps even at length scales as shockingly large as 1 mm.
Current experiments at CERN's LEP 2 accelerator in Switzerland are sensitive enough to probe for new dimensions to a size of 0.48 mm, the team concludes.

 Buddhahood in Three Dimensions
At the same time, all beings and things also belong to the ultimate dimension, the dimension of reality that is not subject to notions of space and time, birth and death, coming and going.
Because they had not yet gotten in touch with the ultimate dimension, many people could not believe what the bodhisattva was telling them about their inherent buddhanature, and they thought he was mocking them.
In terms of the historical dimension, a buddha may live one hundred years or a little bit more or less; but in terms of the ultimate dimension a buddha’s life span is limitless.

 The Lorentz Transformations in Three Dimensions
Consequently, when an atom is accelerated in one direction, the size of the atom or the length of the intermolecular distance changes in all three directions.
Since this result comes from quantum mechanics which predicts a symmetry in all three directions when the electron mass (which is a scalar) changes, we must conclude that the phenomenon of length dilation is just as valid in the transverse directions than in the longitudinal direction.
We conclude that the previous description given by Lorentz and Einstein which assumes a transformation in only one dimension (which has never been observed in any experiment) is erroneous because it is not compatible with quantum mechanics and with the principle of mass-energy conservation.

 See beyond three-dimensions
But while biological visual systems are limited to analyzing two-dimensional plots or 3-D patterns, Osbourn's system offers the opportunity to "see" in many "dimensions," in effect cross-analyzing patterns among many data sets.
While this sounds complicated, all that is happening is that the same empirical judgments made by human eyes are made by a computer program to judge closeness among the points of many groups of data.
Because each subset of three points in a complex high-dimensional data set can also be tested in the same way with the dumbbell, the VERI method extends and automates human cluster perception for use in complex data analysis problems.

The most vivid dimension of a 3-D film is "depth," which in customer service corresponds to the human dimension, or the emotional tone of an interaction set by the service provider.
The third dimension, "width," corresponds to service's hidden dimension, or what happens behind the scenes in the lives of both service provider and customer.
When service providers gain skills in all three dimensions, they deliver attentive, seamless service, which in turn reaps the rewards of customer loyalty: reputation, retention, referrals, and revenue.

Sometimes it does, as in the three elections won by President Reagan (who, really, was responsible for Bush's win in 1988), or in the more than decade of rule, the longest of the Century, by Margaret Thatcher.

The property of the space in which we live and move that indicates motion can take place in three mutually perpendicular directions.
Formally, saying a space has three dimensions means that you can find three vectors in the space for which none is a linear combination of the other two.
In addition, in any set of four vectors one of them can be written as a linear combination of the other three.

Space, a huge empty box, has three dimensions, length, width, and depth, extending to infinity in all three directions.
It appears that the dimension is the exponent - and it is! So when we double the sides and get a similar figure, we write the number of copies as a power of 2 and the exponent will be the dimension.
We can use this to figure out the dimension of the Sierpinski Triangle because when you double the length of the sides, you get another Sierpinski Triangle similar to the first.

In fact, nearly all attempts to bring three dimensions to the Web browser have met with little more than criticism (most often for their increased complexity).
Hall “argued that differing cultural frameworks for defining and organizing space, which are internalized in all people at an unconscious level, can lead to serious failures of communication and understanding.” If properly applied, however, space has the potential to make interactions more meaningful (for instance, the concept of closeness) and enjoyable.
A three dimensional presentation of data or interactions can also reveal trends or similarities within information and provide users with the ability to directly interact with the data.
