Line chart - A line chart displays values as points connected in an ordered sequence, commonly to show change over time.
Line intersection - Line intersection is the geometric relationship in which two lines share one or more points.
Line sampling - Line sampling is a geographical sampling approach in which selected lines determine where observations are made or which objects are included.
Line search - Line search is an optimization procedure that chooses how far to move from a current point along a selected direction.
Line spectral pairs - Line spectral pairs, or LSPs, are a representation of the parameters of a linear prediction filter, widely associated with speech coding.
