orientation
[geography] An object's position or relationship in direction with reference to points of the compass.
Object orientation is a relatively new paradigm that is considered by many to be the basis for the next generation of software, both programs and databases.

To change image orientation, you can use Vertical Flip, Horizontal Flip, Rotate (for any specified angle), Transpose (for 90 degree rotations), and Resize (to change the spatial resolution), all found under the Image Menu.

Wave Refraction The re-orientation of a wave so that it approaches a shoreline at a more perpendicular angle. This process is caused by the differential reduction of water depth as a linear wave approaches a curved shoreline.
We need to become very comfortable in moving to a particular place and orientation within our model.
We need to be able to create objects precisely in relation to other forms in our model.
The legend often includes the scale, origin, orientation, and other map information.

Buildings situated within 2 mm of a road are oriented parallel to the road
The minimum distance between the edge of a building and the edge of a road is 0.
Default: 10 orientations=value This value is the number of azimuth directions the cells on the output raster map layer are categorized into (similar to the aspect raster map layer produced by the r.slope.aspect program).
Intuitive physical member creation with appropriate orientation saves time on overall member creation.
The research on object-orientation approaches has four main topics: data modeling, programming languages, database management systems and user interfaces (Maguire, 1994).
Projections can also be described in terms of their aspect: the direction of the projection plane's orientation (whether cylinder, plane or cone) with respect to the globe.
The datum defines the origin and orientation of lines of latitude and longitude, and is a "starting point" of reference for measuring locations on the surface of the earth.
Triangles {P0, P1, P2} (pink diagonal stripes) and {P0, P2, P3} (green diagonal stripes) have negative orientations. Their signed areas are negative.
According to Snyder "the orientation (of the axis of the ellipse) is of much less interest than the size of the deformation.
That is, they share a common corner tie point, orientation and are projected to the same reference geoid. They both cover one degree of latitude and longitude. In addition, coverage is extensive for both data sets.

In the example above, the plane was oriented along the equator, known as a transverse orientation (hence the 'transverse azimuthal' projection).
This allows the satellite to maintain a constant orientation between the Earth and the Sun. As a result, the mean Sun time at each point in the orbit remains fixed. For example, equatorial crossing times range from 8:30 a.m.
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) - A system used to capture the orientation parameters (roll, pitch and yaw) of an aircraft at any given point in space and time.
Because of Placer County's shape, you need to change the layout orientation to "Landscape." From the menu bar click Layout, then Page Setup. Next to "Orientation", click the landscape page image. Click OK.
The term landscape also is applied to the orientation of a rectangular page, painting or other graphic, denoting that the long axis is horizontal. When the long axis is vertical, it is termed "portrait".
Stereoplotters essentially duplicate the position and orientation of the aerial camera at the time an individual stereo pair was acquired.
Introduction
Frequently a proper choice of projection, scale, orientation and coordinates is crucial for a map to convey its message quickly and unequivocally, as demonstrated by a few examples.
Geographical names and labels play an important role in cartography for the identification of features and the spatial orientation of the map user.
Nominal point data: Nominal data for point locations are represented by symbols that are different in shape, orientation or colour. Geometric or figurative symbols are more common in maps for tourists and schools (figure 8.3d).
based on either the Lambert Conformal Conic or transverse mercator projection, depending on the orientation of each state. Large states commonly require several state plane zones.
Wind barbs always point in the direction the wind is blowing "from". As is the case of the diagram below, the orientation of the wind barb indicates winds from the Northeast.

Courses in GIS are more likely to be offered at the undergraduate level and reflect their essentially technical, service orientation.
These five inputs are used to register the image file to the scanner and to the sensor platform, to determine the orientation and location of the sensor platform with respect to the ground, and to remove the relief displacement from the image data.
It is the orientation toward data interpretation that distinguishes geographic information systems from other types of automated mapping systems.
