[edit] Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions
Choosing a Cartesian coordinate system for a plane means choosing an ordered pair of lines (axes) at right angles to each other, a single unit of length for both axes, ...
Cartesian Coordinate System : A two dimensional coordinate system in which x measures horizontal distance and y measures vertical distance. An x,y coordinate defines every point on the plane.
Cartesian Coordinates are a system of positional reference in which location is measured along two or three orthogonal (perpendicular) axes. Every location can be defined uniquely by its X, Y, and Z coordinates.
Cartesian Coordinate System
In this system features on the earth's surface are referenced to map locations using an XY coordinate system.
Cartesian coordinate system A concept from a french philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes (1596-1650).
Cartesian coordinate system
The Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system in the plane based on two perpendicular axes, one horizontal and one vertical, each marked with a scale.
Cartesian Coordinate: Point whose location in space is expressed in terms of its distance above or below an X, a Y and a Z coordinate plane.
Cartesian Coordinate System
Coordinate system in which the location of points in space are given by reference to three orthogonal planes, normally referred to as X, Y, Z.

[edit] Cartesian coordinates
The spherical coordinates of a point can be obtained from its Cartesian coordinates by the formulas ...
Cartesian coordinates (x, y).
For the sake of illustration we will stick to the simpler and more familiar Euclidean geometry setting where all data are represented in Cartesian coordinates.
Cartesian coordinates are determined as follows: 1. locate an origin 2. set two axes through origin in fixed directions, at right angles to each other ...
Cartesian coordinate system - A coordinate system consisting of intersecting straight lines called axes, in which the lines intersect at a common origin.
Cartesian Coordinate System
A system of quantifying location based on the relationship of an object to an X and Y axis where the surface of the earth is assumed to be flat. Measures of distance and direction are constant within a Cartesian system.
1 Cartesian Coordinates
One possibility of defining a point in a plane is to use plane rectangular coordinates. This is a system of intersecting perpendicular lines, which contains two principal axes, called the X- and Y--axis.

There are a number of ways to perform stereographic projection onto a sphere, based on your choice of where you put the plane and the sphere.

VAS- Atmospheric Sounder, carried by GEOS satellites vector format-The expression of points, lines, and areas on a map by digitized Cartesian coordinates, directions, and values.
All of the data sets we wanted to reference the fire data to were in cartesian coordinates. Cartesian coordinates come in many different projections.
The independently observed baselines should be processed, baseline by baseline, to produce differences in Cartesian coordinates in the satellite datum (X, Y, and Z) for each baseline.
It is necessary to instruct POV-RAY how to move the light source (using Cartesian coordinates) as a function of its internal clock variable in order to produce the desired effect.
In the mid-1600s the French mathematician, René Descartes established the Cartesian coordinate system that is still in use today. The system determines the location of each point in a plane as defined by two numbers-its x-coordinate and y-coordinate.
Referred to as a 'rectangular Cartesian coordinate system', we learned to create such a system by picking a starting point or origin (0) and drawing two lines that intersect each other at right angles through the starting point (the axes).
forward or direct relation converts polar coordinates (longitude λ, latitude φ, Earth radius R) to Cartesian coordinates (horizontal distance x from origin, vertical distance y), ...

[coordinate systems] The distance east of the origin that a point in a Cartesian coordinate system lies, measured in that system's units.
[coordinate systems] The positive x-value in a rectangular coordinate system.
Coordinate - The position of point is space in respect to a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y and/or z values). In GIS, a coordinate often represents locations on the earth's surface relative to other locations.
abscissa -- the coordinate of a point in a plane Cartesian coordinate system obtained by measuring parallel to the x-axis ("the 'x' value").

In this image, Washington state is projected to State Plane North (NAD83). All of the locations on the map are now referenced in Cartesian coordinates, where the origin lies several hundred miles off the Pacific coast.
The most common method Geodesists use involves measuring the distance from the centre of the Earth to the point on the surface of the Ellipsoid/Spheroid. This is called an Earth-centred Cartesian Coordinate System.
This tutorial will show the user how to import a georeferenced image into AutoCAD so that it contains true ground distances and coordinates found in the real world. You will set up a Cartesian coordinate system with measureable units, ...
You can use absolute cartesian coordinates for this. (Exgtending from 0,0 to A and C on the diagram) ...
Transformation is not a projection. Transformation uses a linear formula to transform Cartesian coordinates in the x- and y-axes. There are three type of coordinate transformations that can be use: affine, projective, and similarity.
Map projections Map projections are a method of representing information from a curved surface (usually a spheroid) in two dimensions, typically to allow indexing through cartesian coordinates.
