staircasing
/jag'eez/ (Or "staircase") The "staircase" effect
observable when an edge (especially a linear edge of very
shallow or steep slope) is rendered on a bitmap display (as
opposed to a vector display). The effect is even more
pronounced when a bitmap image or text in a bitmap font is
enlarged. Outline fonts and anti-aliasing are two
techniques used to solve this problem with text.

Geometrical staircase
(gcide) | Geometric \Ge`o*met"ric\, Geometrical \Ge`o*met"ric*al\, a. [L.
geometricus; Gr. ?: cf. F. g['e]om['e]trique.]
1. Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,
geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical
solution of a problem.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Art) characterized by simple geometric forms in design
and decoration; as, a buffalo hide painted with red and
black geometrical designs.
Syn: geometric.
[WordNet 1.5]
Note: Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to
include processes or solutions in which the
propositions or principles of geometry are made use of
rather than those of algebra.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly
technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a
construction or solution is geometrical which can be
made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right
lines and circles. Every construction or solution which
requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or
circle as would generate any other curve, is not
geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a
geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of
geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact;
while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial,
by actual measurements, with instruments, etc., and is
only approximate and empirical.
[1913 Webster]

because their different points may be constructed by the
operations of elementary geometry.
Geometric lathe, an instrument for engraving bank notes,
etc., with complicated patterns of interlacing lines; --

Geometric pen, an instrument for drawing geometric curves,
in which the movements of a pen or pencil attached to a
revolving arm of adjustable length may be indefinitely
varied by changing the toothed wheels which give motion to
the arm.
Geometrical plane (Persp.), the same as Ground plane .
Geometrical progression, proportion, ratio. See under
Progression, Proportion and Ratio.
Geometrical radius, in gearing, the radius of the pitch
circle of a cogwheel. --Knight.

which spin a geometrical web. They mostly belong to
Epeira and allied genera, as the garden spider. See
