ZigZag structure may greatly simplify casual database, casual programming, user-reconfigurable sofware, and casual visualization (made easier by the availability of multiple dimensions).
ZigZag also offers some unusual visualizations and an interesting two-window interface for touch typists.

 A new systems paradigm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
ZigZag has one twist which makes it a little different: all connections are along dimensions, and we can have an unlimited number of dimensions in the system.
In ZigZag it's easy: a list is a rank along a dimension, and hierarchies are composed by having a cell's children on a rank along one dimension and connecting the rank (ie.
However, all you need to implement the basic ZigZag space is cells (at the simplest level, a pair mapping a cell ID to a string), and an associative array mapping dimension names to dimensions.

The ZigZag feature on SharpCharts is not an indicator per se, but rather a means to filter out random noise and compare relative price movements.
A ZigZag set at 10% with OHCL bars would yield a line that only reverses after a change from high to low of 10% or greater.
If a stock traded from a low of 100 to a high of 109, the ZigZag would not draw a line because the move was less than 10%.

 The Basics of Zigzag Transformers
Due to its composition, a zigzag transformer is more effective for grounding purposes because it has less internal winding impedance going to the ground than when using a wye-type transformer.
With the zigzag transformer, you typically insert a resistor between the neutral point and ground to limit ground fault current on the system.
With the zigzag connection, the currents in the two halves of the windings on each leg of the transformer flow in opposite directions, avoiding saturation.

 Pocket Machining (Zigzag-Based)
With zigzag pocket machining, the tool is moved forth and back along equally spaced straight lines ("zigzag segments") which all are parallel to a reference line selected initially.
In order to form a continuous path, neighboring zigzag segments may be interconnected by moves along the pocket's boundary.
One may also attempt to select the inclination of the initial reference line in a smart way such that a "better" machining graph is produced, which admits a traversal with less retractions.

 GZigZag in a Nutshell
GZigZag is an implementation of ZigZag, an abstraction invented by Ted Nelson.
A ZigZag structure is separate from its visualisation (= the way the data is presented on the screen), which means that a ZigZag structure can have many visualisations designed for different purposes.
Because a ZigZag structure is separate from its visualisation, the same structures can be used (without modifications) in different digital media, varying from cellular phones to PC to immersive virtual reality systems.

 The Zigzag Trend Indicator
The zigzag trend approach solves the validity problem of the dynamic last leg by incorporating zigzag into a clearly tradable indicator.
These reversal criteria are the basis for the construction of zigzag validity and the new zigzag trend indicator, both of which check the validity of the last leg by calculating the difference between the last reversal point (peak or trough) and the current price.
A summary of the important characteristics of zigzag, zigzag validity, and zigzag trend.

 ZigZag for BioInformatics
ZigZag (Nelson ’98, ’99, 2001) is a system that excels at making the complex comprehensible by laying bare the underlying structure of information.
Because ZigZag is readily capable of representing complex structures in easily comprehensible forms, it will extend the frontiers of the comprehensibility of biological information.
Therefore using ZigZag should allow a more 'lateral' approach to computational experimentation, instead of only relying on the application of analytical tools that are predicted to be useful.

 GZigZag - A Platform for Cybertext Experiments
Even though the term 'applitude' resembles the term 'application', there is an important difference: in ZigZag nothing is separate, and applitudes, unlike applications, can be combined with each other, as the example of the next section shows.
One of the first examples Nelson (pers.com., 25 August 2000) has used to demonstrate ZigZag is the Holm Family Demo, a family tree prepared for his talk at the University of Oslo to show how he is related to one of the professors of the university.
A consequence of the ZigZag structure is that all connections are two-directional, which means that navigating between related information is easy.

 Totally Different Structural Programming - Programming Languages in ZigZag
However, here comes the unique quality of the ZigZag system into play: the system totally decouples views from the structure, so even though there are views that show the structure rather plainly, it is possible to create views that are very different from the conventional visualizations of a ZigZag structure.
When the canonical representation of the program is a ZigZag structure instead of a particular textual or visual renderition of it, the programmer can potentially choose from lots of different frontend representations of the same program, depending on her preferences.
This can be represented in a ZigZag structure using the standard multiway tree to binary tree mapping: siblings are connected on one rank, and their parent node is connected to the headcell of that rank along another dimension.

 A Graph-Theoretic Introduction to Ted Nelson's Zzstructures, by McGuffin
Perhaps not surprisingly, other generic names that have been proposed for ZigZag are "zzspace" and "quantum hyperspace" [15].
I still don't feel like I fully appreciate ZigZag, but what little I do understand, I find intriguing enough that I think it's important to keep accurate, detailed, and clear records of whatever ZigZag designs we can, for posterity.
Here's the new one-liner: "zzstructure is a new system of representation which generates a visible and traversible pseudospace, which has a variety of benefits..." I think it's very important that you try it interactively, still best done with the gzz version.

 Novel Zigzag Shape Gives Sensors Magnetic Appeal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Described in the Dec. 13, 2004, issue of Applied Physics Letters,* the NIST sensors are made of a thin film of nickel and iron and are 35 micrometers long and 5 micrometers wide, with nanoscale design elements at the edges.
The zigzag design produces the equivalent of many tiny bar magnets oriented with their north and south poles at a 45-degree angle to the centerline of the sensor (see image above).
The new zigzag sensors are expected to produce clearer signals (less electronic "noise") by confining the current to the center of the device and by eliminating edge imperfections that can result in nanoscale magnetic fluctuations.
