I think width and height is rational and to be constructed in a way that when the observer attends to the rather rational dimensions, they would see the first value in their head that is relative to where they are standing. Lina May 23, pm. I received a request from my boss to re-size images to x , and there are a lot of storage images.
I have applied width x height. Funny, the image looks weird because the storage is built horizontally. Now, I am confused. Need to wait for a clarification for 24 hours because we are from different regions. So, short of convincing everyone in the world to always use whatever method you prefer, it makes sense, as Dave Veatch points out, to just add a W and an H and L and D if applicable after the number, e.
Caryn June 30, am. I ent on this web to ask a simple question, and everyone came up with different answers. So I guess putting 18w x 13h would not confuse anyone. Don August 11, pm. When I see a drawn rectangle on a piece of paper and I am asked to give the measurements, this is how I always see and measure it. My eyes goto the vertical length first and then to the horizontal length next. This is how I measure it and how I writ it down. Steve Vaught August 11, pm. Thanks for the feedback!
Sounds like we all just need to stop assuming and define our widths and heights by clearly labeling them! Chelsea August 25, pm. Depends on the industry. Pete Fisher September 30, pm. Oscar Apronti October 7, am. Stanley October 8, pm. It is a wooden box listed as 12X12X Tommy Minahan January 26, pm. I know this topic is old, but I wanted to give my perspective on why it should be WxH.
In mathematics your always taught X by Y. So, basically in every field the majority is width by height.. Steve Vaught January 27, am. My thinking too, Tommy! Thanks for your comment! Nomad Trader March 16, pm.
Ideal dimensions for cover files are 2, x 1, M Frost April 16, pm. I work in picture framing and we always do Height, Width, Depth. HC June 26, pm. Chrysta Feely August 1, pm. In terms of graphing, coordinates are alphabetized and should be x,y for 2D and x,y,z for 2. The x-axis runs left to right width and the y-axis runs up and down length , the z-axis would be front to back depth.
There really is no argument to be made otherwise, unless lunch breaks are really just that dull. I was searching to find out the order of measurements and thought it was going to be a standard that everyone uses. It could be completely different in China, right?
In fact, the width looks half of what is listed! In this case, it needs to be exact for an airline. Soumak Das September 9, am. BLL September 13, pm. That being said…. Height is a three dimensional term z. In math you first learn distance x — the length along a line. The second point y is at a distance or width from that first point x. In math it is supposed to be written or seen as x,y or L x W.
When a 2D rectangle is created, it will always have the same measured sides no matter how it is turned. Also in math, z is the depth Height coordinate. So when written in mathematical terms, it is actually x,y,z or L x W x H. Because we see in three dimensions, and we tend to forget that the base of our feet is the origin point 0,0,0 for our point of view. Our z has a depth already because our individual heights.
Therefore we turn 2D measurements to our view axis, and write our measurements to match, i. We change the orientation. If your having a hard time with this concept, think in terms of point of view. Take for instance birds. They look down at x,y,z from above. We look at things from the side, not from the top down.
However, we are trained to measure through math from the origin point top down. So we think and measure by naturally changing the orientation based on our point of view. So, when looking at a piece of paper, picture, or banner there is actually no z depth per say. The H z is so small as to not matter. We think a banner has height, because after the banner is created, we turn it on the origin point axis, so it is oriented to see it better.
