| Noah Webster | [Noun] In geometry, the extent of a body, or length, breadth and thickness or depth. A line has one dimension, or length; a superficies has two dimensions, length and breadth; and a solid has three dimensions, length, breadth and thickness or depth. The word is generally used int eh plural, and denotes the whole space occupied by a body, or its capacity, size, measure; as the dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a farm, of a kingdom, &c..

| Aerospace | An Oracle Financial Analyzer database object used to organize and index the data stored in a variable. Dimensions answer the following questions about data: "What?" "When?" and "Where?" For example, a variable called Units Sold might be associated with the dimensions Product, Month, and District. In this case, Units Sold describes the number of products sold during specific months within specific districts. (references) | ||
| Mechanical Engineering | The extent (length) measured in a particular direction, e. g. along a diameter or a principal axis. The "size" of a part can involve all "dimensions" of it. The term "size" is not confined to geometrical magnitudes. Source: European Union. (references) | ||
| Physics | 1: A variable in spatial geometry. E.g., in relativity theory, an event is characterized by four numbers, three locating it in (the coordinates of a convention al) space and one in time so that events are thought to be four-dimensional. (Krippendorff). (references) | 2: An independent axis of an array. (references) | |
| Wiktionary | 1: [Noun] (computing) Any of the independent ranges of indices in a multidimensional array. (references) | 2: [Noun] (geometry) Any of the independent coordinates used to specify uniquely the location of a point in a space. (references) | 3: [Noun] (linear algebra) The number of elements of any basis of a vector space. (references) | 4: [Noun] (physics) One of the physical property regarded as a fundamental measure of a physical quantity, such as mass, length and time. The dimensions of velocity are length divided by time. (references) | 5: [Noun] (science fiction) An alternative universe or plane of existence. (references) | 6: [Noun] A construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished. (references) | 7: [Noun] A measure of spatial extent in a particular direction, such as height, width or breadth, or depth. (references) | 8: [Noun] A single aspect of a given thing. (references) | 9: [Verb] (transitive) To mark, cut or shape something to specified dimensions. (references) |

| 4th Dimension (Software) | 4th Dimension (or 4D) is a relational database management system and integrated IDE developed by Laurent Ribardière in 1984. In 1993, 4D Server, the client/server version of 4th Dimension was introduced and since 1995, 4D has supported both the Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. (references) | ||
| 5th Dimension College of Visual Art | 5th Dimension College of Visual Art is a college located in Johannesburg, South Africa. (references) | ||
| Anomalous scaling dimension | In theoretical physics, namely quantum field theory, the anomalous scaling dimension of an operator is the contribution of quantum mechanics to the classical scaling dimension of that operator. (references) | ||
| Complex dimension | In mathematics, complex dimension usually refers to the dimension of a complex manifold M, or complex algebraic variety V. If the complex dimension is d, the real dimension will be 2d. That is, the smooth manifold M has dimension 2d; and away from any singular points V will also be a smooth manifold of dimension 2d. (references) | ||
| Critical dimension | In the renormalization group analysis of phase transitions in physics, a critical dimension is the dimensionality of space at which the character of the phase transition changes. Below the lower critical dimension there is no phase transition. Above the upper critical dimension the critical indices of the theory become the same as that in mean field theory. (references) | ||

| Current Dimension | Aerospace | The Oracle Financial Analyzer dimension from which you are selecting values. The current dimension is the one you specified in the Dimension box of the Selector window. Choices you make and actions you take in lower-level windows ultimately affect this dimension by selecting values from it to include in a report, graph, or worksheet. (references) | |
| Dimension Label | Aerospace | A text label that displays the name of the Oracle Financial Analyzer dimension associated with an element of a report, graph, or worksheet. For example, the data markers in a graph's legend contain dimension labels that show what data each data marker represents. Dimension labels can be short, meaning they display the object name of a dimension, or user-specified, meaning they display a label that you typed using the Dimension Labels option on the Graph, Report, or Worksheet menus.
