angulations
Points where lines meet
Angulations are angles or angular formations, particularly the specific angles at which parts meet or bend.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: in dog breeding, it describes the angles formed by bones at joints, especially in the hindquarters and shoulders; in skiing, it refers to the body position where hips and knees angle into the slope while the upper body remains upright.
The judge noted the German Shepherd's excellent rear angulations.
