#straight_line a line traced by a point traveling in a constant direction; a line of zero curvature; "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line"
exclusion: #curved_shape
supertype: #line.shape a length (straight or curved) without breadth or thickness; the trace of a moving point
subtype: #perpendicular.straight_line a straight line at right angles to another line
subtype: #asymptote a straight line that is the limiting value of a curve; can be considered as tangent at infinity; "the asymptote of the curve"
subtype: #tangent a straight line that touches but does not intersect a curve
subtype: #secant a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
subtype: #radius.straight_line a straight line from the center to the perimeter of a circle (or from the center to the surface of a sphere)
subtype: #diameter.straight_line a straight line connecting the center of a circle with two points on its perimeter (or the center of a sphere with two points on its surface)
subtype: #chord.straight_line a straight line connecting two points on a curve
