Further question about coordinated shift.
I want to describe two picture.
1.two lines move together in the same direction with similar distance.
A schematic drawing is like this:
|-------------> |
| -------------> |
Thanks for Micawber and enoon, I got
" There's a coordinated shift of these two lines."
2.two lines move together in reverse direction with similar distance.
A schematic drawing is like this:
|-------------> |
| <------------- |
I think the sentence " There's a coordinated shift of these two lines." is not right here.
Could I use " There's a negatively coordinated shift of these two lines. " for case 2?
And " There's a positively coordinated shift of these two lines. " for case 1?
Or if you have any new sentence for these 2 cases?
Many thanks.

Hi It looks to me that the lines represent two things moving in parallel - either in the same direction or in opposite direction Dave

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried "parallel shift" before.
But I think its not parallel becase the amount is different.
How do you think?

Hi
In the first case, I would say that the lines are parallel, even if they show a different amount. If two cars set off along a track, from a starting line, but one goes faster than the other, I would say that their paths are parallel
In the second case, I'm not so sure. If the cars are moving in opposite directions - along an ordinary road, say - then I might write:

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your kind reply.
For some reason, the two sentences are now limited to use "coordinated" and "shift".
Could you use "coordinated" and "shift" to distinguish these two cases?
Many thanks,

Hi Linwenzi
I believe the phrase 'coordinated shift' is used mainly in scientific experiments where two different measurements are made - say, x and y. If, when a test is carried out, the values of x and y move together in a predictable way, then that is a coordinated shift
In that case, I think the phrase would apply even if the amounts were moving in different directions or by
