XYZ coordinates represent a point’s location in three-dimensional space. While X and Y denote its position on the earth’s surface, Z indicates its elevation or altitude.

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, geometric shapes (such as curves) can be described by equations involving the coordinates of points of the shape.

To specify the location of a point in space, we need three coordinates (x, y, z), where coordinates x and y specify locations in a plane, and coordinate z gives a vertical position above or below the plane.

We call this system the three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system. It represents the three dimensions we encounter in real life. The three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system consists …

In a planar coordinate system, three coordinates that locate a point by its distance from an origin (0,0,0) where three orthogonal axes cross. Usually, the x-coordinate is measured along the east–west.

The xyz coordinate axis system, denoted 3, is represented by three real number lines meeting at a common point, called the origin. The three number lines are called the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis.

In three-dimensional space, the Cartesian coordinate system is based on three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes: the x x -axis, the y y -axis, and the z z -axis, illustrated below.

XYZ is a key part of the planar coordinate system, essential for digital maps and geospatial analysis, making it vital for GIS professionals, developers, and map enthusiasts alike.

The Cartesian coordinate system is defined by an origin point and three perpendicular axes X, Y, and Z. On most Nortek instruments, the X-axis is in the same direction as beam 1.

This section introduces the XYZ Euler angle convention, a method for defining the orientation of coordinate systems through sequential rotations around the X, Y′, and Z″ axes, denoted by angles …
