Dimension
(n.)
The manifoldness with which the fundamental units of time, length, and mass are involved in determining the units of other physical quantities.
(n.)
The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time is quantity having one dimension; volume has three dimensions, relative to extension.
(n.)
Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height, thickness, or circumference; extension; measurement; -- usually, in the plural, measure in length and breadth, or in length, breadth, and thickness; extent; size; as, the dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a farm, of a kingdom.
(n.)
Extent; reach; scope; importance; as, a project of large dimensions.
(n.)
A literal factor, as numbered in characterizing a term. The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus, a2b2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth degree.

Dimension
- class java.awt..Dimension
public class Dimension extends Dimension2D implements Serializable
Tree:java.lang.Object - java.awt.geom.Dimension2D - java.awt.Dimension
The Dimension class encapsulates the width and height of a component (in integer precision) in a single object. The class is associated with certain properties of components. Several methods defined by the Component class and the LayoutManager interface return a Dimension object.

dimension
A structural attribute of a cube, which is an organized hierarchy of categories (levels) that describe data in the fact table. These categories typically describe a similar set of members upon which the user wants to base an analysis. For example, a geography dimension might include levels for Country, Region, State or Province, and City.

Dimension
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 conventional) space and one in time so that events are thought to be four-dimensional. (Krippendorff)

Dimension
In common usage, a dimension (Latin, "measured out") is a parameter or measurement required to define the characteristics of an object—i.e., length, width, and height or size and shape. In mathematics, dimensions are the parameters required to describe the position and relevant characteristics of any object within a conceptual space—where the dimension of a space is the total number of different parameters used for all possible objects considered in the model. Generalizations of this concept are possible and different fields of study will define their spaces by their own relevant dimensions, and use these spaces as frameworks upon which all other study (in that area) is based. In specialized contexts, units of measurement may sometimes be "dimensions"—meters or feet in geographical space models, or cost and price in models of a local economy.
