#straight_line a line traced by a point traveling in a constant direction; a line of zero curvature; "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line"
exclusion: curved_shape
supertype: line.shape a length (straight or curved) without breadth or thickness; the trace of a moving point
subtype: perpendicular.straight_line a straight line at right angles to another line
subtype: asymptote a straight line that is the limiting value of a curve; can be considered as tangent at infinity; "the asymptote of the curve"
subtype: tangent a straight line that touches but does not intersect a curve
subtype: secant a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
subtype: radius.straight_line a straight line from the center to the perimeter of a circle (or from the center to the surface of a sphere)
subtype: diameter.straight_line a straight line connecting the center of a circle with two points on its perimeter (or the center of a sphere with two points on its surface)
subtype: chord.straight_line a straight line connecting two points on a curve
subtype: element.straight_line a straight line that generates a cylinder or cone
subtype: element_of_a_cone a straight line joining the apex and a point on the base
subtype: element_of_a_cylinder a straight line running the length of the cylinder
subtype: bias__diagonal a line or cut across a fabric that is not at right angles to a side
subtype: diagonal.straight_line (geometry) a straight line connecting any two vertices of a polygon that are not adjacent
subtype: vector.straight_line a straight line segment whose length is magnitude and whose orientation in space is direction
subtype: ray.vector (mathematics) a straight line extending from a point
