But wait ... on Windows Vista when you view the size dimensions of an image file (e.g. right-click --> properties --> details --> image --> dimensions), it seems to display the size as WxH. This is on Windows Vista.
Right -- depth (the third dimension) would make sense to come last, in any event.
In wood, we call the width (across the grain) first -- a sheet of plywood is 4 x 8, not 8 x 4 -- unless in fact the grain direction is reversed (you can get 1/8" bending poplar either way).
I always thought it was H first then W. I'm just basing that on 2D things like photos and paintings. for example an 8 x 10 photograph is in landscape format. And every painting I know is based on that.
Reanimated thread but interesting topic. A pet peeve of mine is when it's not specified, but matters, since there does not seem to be a standard. Paper can be 8 1/2 x 11 (WxH) or 24 x 36 (HxW), typically. With 3-D products I have not seen a standard, and when reading product specs, things like length, width and depth can refer to almost any direction.
I think you're right, Pete. And I don't know if anybody else has noted this, but for non-paper dimensions, it should be width x height, because the X axis is prior to the Y axis, alphabetically. (X)x(Y)
yyyy/mm/dd is the official Canadian format dates and is less likely to cause confusion. The M.erican way is just silly. I've always shown height as last when listing dimensions.

what part of that story permits the diddling on kids?
HxW or WxH
Which is correct when specifying the size of a 2D artwork? Height x Width, or Width x Height?
I'm guessing it's HxW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus_(Botticelli)
Also ... testing, testing (because threads I create don't seem to appear on the front page anymore for some reason).
the standard for three dimensions is HxWxD, which leads me to believe it's HxW.
But wait ... on Windows Vista when you view the size dimensions of an image file (e.g. right-click --> properties --> details --> image --> dimensions), it seems to display the size as WxH. This is on Windows Vista.
I'm guessing I should just use HxW anyway.
Funny -- I would have thought width x height. . .
always think XxYxZ (z=depth)
Right -- depth (the third dimension) would make sense to come last, in any event.
In wood, we call the width (across the grain) first -- a sheet of plywood is 4 x 8, not 8 x 4 -- unless in fact the grain direction is reversed (you can get 1/8" bending poplar either way).

So -- it looks pretty unanimous.
So does this still apply to
1209.1 Crawl spaces. Crawl spaces shall be provided with a
minimum of one access opening not less than 18 inches by 24
inches
Here in the office we just had a discussion about the height of the crawl space...I say 24" high the others say it makes no sense and is 18".

I think paper is just Short x Long.

Tradition has it that it's Length, then Width, then Height.
Since this is 2D artwork, then height doesn't apply.
Same with dates; is it DD/MM/YR or MM/DD/YR or YR/MM/DD...?
yyyy/mm/dd is the official Canadian format dates and is less likely to cause confusion. The M.erican way is just silly. I've always shown height as last when listing dimensions.
What about the American date causes confusion? Oh, right, when you don't use it and don't expect it. Not much else. :P
Because it does not use logical scales... ie small to large or vice versa. D<M<Y or Y>M>D.
H x W x D or W x H x D it would be best to note the H, W, D, to leave out room for misunderstanding.
the answer is probably in here somewhere
Hopefully he relies one something better for answers. There is nothing good in that moldy brick.
Koww,
"Noah's instructions are given to him by God (Genesis 6:14–16): the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high"
So, the precedent was set long time ago. But if you are an atheist, do as you wish.
what about the dinos?
Dinos were sinners, so they were not invited.
"...So the LORD said: I will wipe out from the earth the human beings I have created, and not only the human beings, but also the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air, for I regret that I made them..."

Non, that was in the appendix.
Riiiiiiiight. What's a cubit?
"...Non Sequitur

None. It's a people thing. I 've seen some really ugly buildings. Should I say all architects are un-educated fucking idiot morons, lol?
Maybe, if there was a global association in charge of ignoring the asshole architect problems. Do we have a Pope architect?

Gross. Sounds like a cult.
