If **ya is the multiple secant of **zg which passes through Af and **yb is the simple secant of **zg which passes through Af, and if Af are the points in which **ya meets **zg, and if Af is the image of Af on the generator **yb, it follows that the image of the line Af is Af.

If, on the other hand, they opted for representation, it had to be representation per se -- representation as image pure and simple, without connotations ( at least, without more than schematic ones ) of the three-dimensional space in which the objects represented originally existed.

There are some passages in the writings of Irenaeus where the image of God and the similitude are sharply distinguished, so most notably in the statement: `` If the ( Holy ) Spirit is absent from the soul, such a man is indeed of an animal nature ; ;

If an alpha channel is used in an image, it is common to also multiply the color by the alpha value, to save on additional multiplications during compositing.

If an otherwise perfect wavefront is " aberrated " by piston and tilt, it will still form a perfect, aberration-free image, only shifted to a different position.

If the angle u1 is very small, O ' 1 is the Gaussian image ; and O ' 1 O ' 2 is termed the longitudinal aberration, and O ' 1R the lateral aberration of the pencils with aperture u2.

If the above errors be eliminated, the two astigmatic surfaces united, and a sharp image obtained with a wide aperture — there remains the necessity to correct the curvature of the image surface, especially when the image is to be received upon a plane surface, e. g. in photography.

If, in an unsharp image, a patch of light corresponds to an object point, the center of gravity of the patch may be regarded as the image point, this being the point where the plane receiving the image, e. g., a focusing screen, intersects the ray passing through the middle of the stop.

If a pixel-by-pixel ( image order ) approach to rendering is impractical or too slow for some task, then a primitive-by-primitive ( object order ) approach to rendering may prove useful.

If a naive rendering algorithm is used without any filtering, high frequencies in the image function will cause ugly aliasing to be present in the final image.

In It's Not Funny If I Have to Explain It, Adams recounts having been attacked for the alleged political content of his work, although in the case of one such strip ( where oil drilling kills a unicorn ) he excuses himself by saying " I just thought the image was funny.

If all layers of an image change regularly but a large number of layer still need to be composited ( such as in distributed rendering ), the commutativity of a compositing operator can still be exploited to speed up computation through parallelism even when there is no gain from pre-computation.

If the imaging surface is cleaned of contaminants and residual moisture before the second image is taken, then no image of the missing section would appear.

If this image were transferred directly to paper, it would create a mirror-type image and the paper would become too wet.

If is another measurable space then a function is called measurable if for every Y-measurable set, the inverse image is X-measurable i. e..

If one looks in a mirror, one's image reverses ( e. g., if one raises one's right hand, his left hand will appear to go up in the mirror ).

If U. S. officials can " help clean up his image " and lift the ban on arms sales to the Panamanian Defense Force, Noriega will "' take care of ' the Sandinista leadership for us.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.
