Ornament variations
Vary a source repeat or motif, preserve its symmetry and compare the result with the original.
A strip at your chosen width →
White is transparent. Changes apply to whole object families. Repeat geometry and known symmetries are checked; exact visual duplicates and global palette substitutions are filtered out.
The count changes thumbnails and SVG/WebP; only confirmed axes repeat; when there are two, the count applies to each. Set the width of layered bands in the strip workshop.
Detected objects and repeats
This is preliminary local analysis. Families group matching geometry under rotations and reflections. Partial occurrences record only observed matches at excerpt edges.
Choose a source and select Generate.
Compare with source
Compare independent layers
Each layer is aligned independently using only visible cells: source column x is compared with variant column x + shift. This does not imply the whole composition matches under one common shift.

Coordinates below are one-based. JSON includes exact operations and a checksum of the source geometry.
These generated variations need review. They are not added to the historical corpus. Similarity is a geometric measure.
