Straightness is the tolerance of form which specifies tolerance limits for line
elements on a surface, a central axis, or a median plane.
No datum or datums needed
Straightness is checked using sufficient individual line
element checks to ensure its proper function.

Circularity is a tolerance of form that checks the periphery of any circular
cross section taken perpendicular to the axis of a cylinder or cone, or
through the center of a sphere to ensure that all elements are within a two
concentric circle tolerance zones.
No datum or datums needed
Circularity requires the surface of any cross section to meet size
requirements and also be within the circularity tolerance zone.

Cylindricity is a tolerance of form that checks cylindrical features only. All
circular and longitudinal elements on the surface of the cylinder must lie
within two concentric cylinders separated by the value of the cylindricity
tolerance which is measured on radius.
