For example, `sixspot' is a well known pattern generated from a solved Rubik cube by the rotation sequence \texttt{U,Dp,R,Lp,F,Bp,U,Dp}, as follows: \bigskip \noindent\hfil% \RubikCubeSolvedWB \ShowCube{2.4cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}% \RubikRotation{\sixspot}% \quad\SequenceBraceA{sixspot}{\ShowSequence{}{\Rubik}{\SequenceLong}}\quad% \ShowCube{2.4cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}% \hfil% \bigskip \medskip {\noindent}The code for this image is as follows: \begin{quote} \begin{verbatim} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{rubikcube,rubikrotation,rubikpatterns} ... \noindent\hfil% \RubikCubeSolvedWB% \ShowCube{2.4cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}% \RubikRotation{\sixspot}% \quad\SequenceBraceA{sixspot}{% \ShowSequence{}{\Rubik}{\SequenceLong}% }% \quad\ShowCube{2.4cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}% \hfil% \end{verbatim} \end{quote} Note that the appearance of a pattern generated by a given rotation sequence is, of course, sensitive to (a)~the particular colour configuration of the solved cube used, and (b)~the initial orientation of the cube. The initial condition associated with all the pattern images shown in this document is the solved form of the `WB' colour configuration (White opposite Blue), since this is the solved cube colour configuration used by the Reid website, from which nearly all these patterns are drawn. The following image shows the WB cube form (set up using the command \verb!\RubikCubeSolvedWB!) displayed in a semi-flat (SF) mode (\verb!\DrawRubikCubeSF!) so we can see all the faces ---see the \textsc{rubikcube} documentation for details. \bigskip \RubikCubeSolvedWB% \ShowCube{2cm}{0.5}{\DrawRubikCubeSF}% \medskip {\noindent}The code for this image is as follows: \begin{quote} \begin{verbatim} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{rubikcube,rubikrotation} ... \RubikCubeSolvedWB% \ShowCube{2cm}{0.5}{\DrawRubikCubeSF}% \end{verbatim} \end{quote} \section{Typesetting} The remainder of this document just displays the various patterns made available with the \textsc{rubikpatterns} package. We display the patterns using the following \verb!\ShowPattern! command, which uses the \verb!\RubikRotation! command (from the \textsc{rubikrotation} package), and takes the pattern macro-name as the argument: This command draws the cube from the right-upper (RU) viewpoint, and shows the rotation sequence and metadata. \begin{verbatim} %---------------------------------------- \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{rubikcube,rubikrotation,rubikpatterns} ... \newcommand{\ShowPattern}[1]{% \noindent% \RubikCubeSolvedWB \RubikRotation{#1} \ShowCube{2.4cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU} \hspace{0.5cm}% \begin{minipage}{9cm} \noindent\ShowSequence{,\ }{\texttt}{\SequenceShort}, \newline\noindent\texttt{\SequenceInfo}. \end{minipage} } %------------------------------------------ \end{verbatim} \pagebreak For example, the first pattern below (Pons Asinorum) is typeset using the following command: \begin{verbatim} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ponsasinorum} \end{verbatim} %----------------------------- \section{List of Patterns} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\PonsAsinorum} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\CheckerboardsThree} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\CheckerboardsSix} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\Stripes} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\CubeInCube} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\CubeInCubeInCube} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ChristmasCross} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\PlummersCross} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\Anaconda} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\Python} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\BlackMamba} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\GreenMamba} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\FemaleRattlesnake} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\MaleRattlesnake} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\FemaleBoa} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\MaleBoa} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\FourSpot} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\sixspot} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\OrthogonalBars} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\SixTs} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\SixTwoOne} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ExchangedPeaks} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\TwoTwistedPeaks} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\FourTwistedPeaks} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ExchangedChickenFeet} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\TwistedChickenFeet} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ExchangedRings} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\TwistedRings} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\EdgeHexagonTwo} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\EdgeHexagonThree} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\TomParksPattern} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\RonsCubeInCube} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\TwistedDuckFeet} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\ExchangedDuckFeet} \bigskip\ShowPattern{\Superflip} \bigskip %------------------------ \section{References} \begin{itemize} \item Fridrich website (Fridrich J). \ \ \url{http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/} See the `Pretty patterns' webpage \url{http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/ptrns.html} \item Kociemba website (Kociemba H). \url{http://www.kociemba.org/cube.htm} {\newline}---for superflip see: \url{http://www.kociemba.org/math/oh.htm} \item Randelshofer website (Randelshofer W).
