  • Angle: Angle between adjacent pattern elements (in following figure 30°), for a complete pattern this results in 12 positions)

    [Note]Note

    The angle specification refers to an angle between two adjacent elements in a complete pattern. In the following figure, nevertheless, in any case the angle is 30°.
