  • An isotropic line is perpendicular to itself
  • The euclidean distance between two points on an isotropic line is zero (hence null line)
  • The union of two conjugate isotropic lines is a circle
  • The point at infinity of an isotropic line is always one of the two circular points at infinity
  • If an isotropic line is rotated 90 degrees its image is itself

Famous quotes containing the word properties:

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
