Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • The shape of an object located in some space is the part of that space occupied by the object, as determined by its external boundary – abstracting from other properties such as colour, content, and material composition, as well as from the object's other spatial properties (position and orientation in space; size). Mathematician and statistician David George Kendall defined shape this way: Shape is all the geometrical information that remains when location, scale and rotational effects are filtered out from an object. Simple two-dimensional shapes can be described by basic geometry such as points, line, curves, plane, and so on.
