Description
Return combined diptych width and gap share.
Artwork measurements distinguish physical dimensions, projected regions and scale conventions. Length, area and volume change with different powers of a scale, while frame overlaps and crop geometry depend on which boundaries were measured. A numerical fit does not identify an artwork or establish its historical interpretation.
Return combined diptych width and gap share.
When to use this tool
Use Art Work Diptych Panel Gap Width when checking the stated artwork dimension, crop, frame or scale relation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter firstWidth, secondWidth, gap. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read totalWidth, gapFraction. Use the output convention below.
Return combined diptych width and gap share. Require positive panel widths and gap >= 0; totalWidth = first+second+gap, gapFraction = gap/total.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| firstWidth | First Width | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| secondWidth | Second Width | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| gap | Gap | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| totalWidth | Total Width | Required. Finite number. |
| gapFraction | Gap Fraction | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This assumes a common horizontal measurement basis; actual installation, artwork identity and interpretation are not established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect the original object, measured boundaries and appropriate complete geometry or catalog record for physical or historical conclusions.
