3 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Interlace \In`ter*lace"\, v. t. & i. [imp. & p. p. {Interlaced}; p. pr & vb n. {Interlacing}.] [OE. entrelacen F. entrelacer See {Inter-}, and {Lace}.] To unite, as by lacing together; to insert or interpose one thing within another; to intertwine; to interweave. Severed into stripes That interlaced each other --Cowper. The epic way is every where interlaced with dialogue. --Dryden. {Interlacing arches} (Arch.), arches, usually circular, so constructed that their archivolts intersect and seem to be interlaced. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: interlacing adj : linked or locked closely together as by dovetailing [syn: {interlinking}, {interlocking}, {interwoven}] From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: interlacing 1.A {video} display system which builds an {image} on the {VDU} in two phases, known as "fields", consisting of even and odd horizontal lines. The complete image (a "frame") is created by scanning an electron beam horizontally across the screen, starting at the top and moving down after each horizontal scan until the bottom of the screen is reached, at which point the scan starts again at the top On an interlaced display, even numbered {scan lines} are displayed in the first field and then odd numbered lines in the second field. For a given screen {resolution}, {refresh rate} (frames per second) and {phosphor} {persistence}, interlacing reduces flicker because the top and bottom of the screen are redrawn twice as often as if the scan simply proceded from top to bottom in a single vertical sweep. 2. {progressive coding}.
