configuration| In chemistry, the arrangement of atoms in a molecule or of electrons in atomic orbitals. |
configuration| In computing, the way in which a system, whether it be hardware and/or software, is set up. A minimum configuration is often referred to for a particular application, and this will usually include a specification of processor, disk and memory size, and peripherals required. |
configuration| In art, the arrangement of individual elements and shapes within the content of an artwork, and the overall meaning when these elements are brought together in their relative context. A flower in one painting may have the relative meaning of symbolizing love and fertility, whereas in another painting, it may simply be a background detail. The configuration of a painting may be likened to the words of a sentence; the words convey little individually, but convey greater meaning, or different things, when forming part of a sentence. |
