CrossbarWhat it is made of
| NOT MEASURED ON THIS SHELF, and here is what it would take | a small projection at a stem-and-curve junction. The hardest of the nine: it is defined as what is left over after an idealised form is subtracted, and this house holds no idealised form to subtract | THE INSTRUMENT IT WOULD NEED, and it is not an image measurement. Every glyph on this shelf is drawn from STROKES - a centreline and a width, every one a line or a circular arc. Recovering this part from a filled outline is image analysis done to get back something the house already holds in source. The measurement is a reader for those skeletons, and it would answer most of the nine at once. |
