Outline, Contour, 1'rofile, Sketch, Delineation. Outline is.lit- 
erally. the outer or exterior line ; but the word Is freely 
used for a representation by the principal or distinguish- 
ing lines. Contour and profile retain this distinctive mean- 
ing of the outside line, the former referring to the boun- 
dary of the whole figure in any position, and the Utter to 
the boundary of face or figure when seen directly from 
one side, with figurative uses in architecture and survey- 
ing. A sketch fills up the outline to a greater or leas degree, 
not completely, but so that a lively idea of the original ob- 
ject or scene Is conveyed. Delineation is rather indefinite, 
but is more than an outline and may be complete. Out- 
line, sketch, and delineation bear the same relation to one 
another when used to express the representation of a sub- 
ject in words.
