Indicatrix \In`di*ca"trix\, n. [NL.] (Geom. of Three Dimensions)
   A certain conic section supposed to be drawn in the tangent
   plane to any surface, and used to determine the accidents of
   curvature of the surface at the point of contact. The curve
   is similar to the intersection of the surface with a parallel
   to the tangent plane and indefinitely near it. It is an
   ellipse when the curvature is synclastic, and an hyperbola
   when the curvature is anticlastic.
