Digamma
(gcide) | Digamma \Di*gam"ma\, n. [Gr. ?; ? = ? twice + ga`mma the letter
[Gamma]. So called because it resembled two gammas placed one
above the other.] (Gr. Gram.)
A letter (?, ?) of the Greek alphabet, which early fell into
disuse.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This form identifies it with the Latin F, though in
sound it is said to have been nearer V. It was
pronounced, probably, much like the English W.

Gamma ray
(gcide) | Gamma ray \Gam"ma ray\ n. (Physics)
A very penetrating electromagnetic ray not appreciably
deflected by a magnetic or electric field, emitted by
radioactive substances. Gamma rays are photons of
electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength shorter than
that of X-rays, (i. e. shorter than 0.1 nanometer) and are
correspondingly more penetrating than X-rays. In addition to
being given off in certain types of radioactive decay, they
may be found in cosmic radiation, though they are largely
absorbed by the earth's atmosphere. Gamma-ray detectors
orbited above the atmosphere have found bursts of gamma
radiation, in some cases associated with visually observed
supernova explosions, but in most cases from unidentified
sources.

gammadion
(gcide) | Fyllot \Fyl"lot\, n. [Prov. fr. AS. fy?erf?te, fierf?te,
fe['o]werf?te. See Four, and Foot, n.]
A rebated cross, formerly used as a secret emblem, and a
common ornament. It is also called gammadion, and
swastika. FyrdGammadion \Gam*ma"di*on\, n.
A cross formed of four capital gammas, formerly used as a
mysterious ornament on ecclesiastical vestments, etc. See
Fylfot.
[1913 Webster]Swastika \Swas"ti*ka\, Swastica \Swas"ti*ca\, n. [Also
suastica, svastika, etc.] [Skr. svastika, fr. svasti
walfare; su well + asti being.]
A symbol or ornament in the form of a Greek cross with the
ends of the arms at right angles all in the same direction,
and each prolonged to the height of the parallel arm of the
cross. A great many modified forms exist, ogee and volute as
well as rectilinear, while various decorative designs, as
Greek fret or meander, are derived from or closely associated
with it. The swastika is found in remains from the Bronze Age
in various parts of Europe, esp. at Hissarlik (Troy), and was
in frequent use as late as the 10th century. It is found in
ancient Persia, in India, where both Jains and Buddhists used
(or still use) it as religious symbol, in China and Japan,
and among Indian tribes of North, Central, and South America.
It is usually thought to be a charm, talisman, or religious
token, esp. a sign of good luck or benediction. Max M["u]ller
distinguished from the swastika, with arms prolonged to the
right, the suavastika, with arms prolonged to the left, but
this distinction is not commonly recognized. Other names for
the swastika are fylfot and gammadion.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
Note: The swastika with arms bent to the right came to be
used as a symbol of Aryan supremacy by the Nazi party
in Germany, 1933 - 1945; hence, it is now associated in
the United States and European countries with Nazism or
antisemitism. It is sometimes used by neo-nazis, or by
antisemites as an antisemitic symbol.

gamma correction
(foldoc) | gamma correction
Adjustments applied during the display of a digital
representation of colour on a screen in order to compensate
for the fact that the Cathode Ray Tubes used in computer
monitors (and televisions) produce a light intensity which
is not proportional to the input voltage. The light
intensity is actually proportional to the input voltage raised
to the inverse power of some constant, called gamma. Its
value varies from one display to another, but is usually
around 2.5.
Because it is more intuitive for the colour components (red,
green and blue) to be varied linearly in the computer, the
actual voltages sent to the monitor by the display hardware
must be adjusted in order to make the colour component
intensity on the screen proportional to the value stored in
the computer's display memory. This process is most easily
achieved by a dedicated module in the display hardware which
simply scales the outputs of the display memory before
sending them to the digital-to-analogue converters.
More expensive graphics cards and workstations
(particularly those used for CAD applications) will have a
gamma correction facility.
In combination with the "white-point" gamma correction is
used to achieve precise colour matching.
