Shape is composed of an object or its external boundary, outline, and surface, independent of other properties such as color, texture, and material composition. Shape can also be a closed space formed by edges, curves, or a combination of both. Psychologists believe that people mentally decompose images into simple geometric shapes called geons. Cones and spheres are examples of geons. The shape of an object can be described using basic geometric objects such as points, lines, curves, and planes. For objects with more than two dimensions, the dimensionality of the shape can be reduced through cross-sections or projections.
