18 Visualising, interacting and experimenting with lattices using a diagrammatic representation

Abstract

This chapter presents the K-lattice machine (KLM), a tool that allows users to visualise, interact, and experiment with K lattices using a diagrammatic representation. K lattices are a subset of 2D lattices that can be represented as state-transition diagrams. KLM allows users to explore the relationship between K lattices and their state-transition diagram representations to gain insight into the structure of these lattices. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
