Banner Explanation: I know this is not exactly from the same context as what you are looking for...but clear enough to understand the term "frise". Frise Alignement horizontal de photographies disposées côte à côte, généralement le long du haut ou du bas d'une page. Lorsqu'une page contient un grand nombre de petites photographies, une frise est souvent préférable à une disposition fortuite des clichés sur la page.

in the form of a frieze Explanation: Quite apart from any mathematical approach, from which I have gleamed that there are only 7 possible friezes, the word is used by mere mortals to mean a band of (repeated) images which are dispalyed on a wall, usually, but not always, at a certian height. No doubt a corruption of the more technical meaning… http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary Main Entry: 2frieze Pronunciation: 'frEz Function: noun Etymology: Middle French frise, perhaps from Medieval Latin phrygium, frisium embroidered cloth, from Latin phrygium, from neuter of Phrygius Phrygian, from Phrygia Date: 1563 1 : the part of an entablature between the architrave and the cornice -- see ENTABLATURE illustration 2 : a sculptured or richly ornamented band (as on a building or piece of furniture) 3 : a band, line, or series suggesting a frieze <a constant frieze of visitors wound its way around the ... ruins -- Mollie Panter-Downes> - frieze·like adjective http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~mathed/Geometry/Transformations/friez... A frieze is a pattern which repeats in one direction. Friezes are often seen as ornaments in architecture. A mathematical analysis reveals that there are seven different frieze patterns possible. http://www.cut-the-knot.com/triangle/Frieze.html (with photo) frieze, in classical architecture, the middle of the three main divisions of an entablature (q.v.; section resting on the capital), above the architrave and below the cornice In mathematics, frieze patterns have translational symmetry. Groups of isometries that keep a given straight line invariant and that include translations along the line, are called frieze groups with center at this line. Isometry is a linear transformation of the plane (or space) that preserve distances between points. Translation, rotation, reflection (in a point or a line) are all isometries. So are their compositions. Glide reflection is a simultaneous translation and reflection in the center line. In all, there are 7 frieze patterns. They are listed in the table below along with the corresponding kinds of symmetry. http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=chan... ALPHABET WALL FRIEZE : A frieze of alphabet flash cards in the nursery encourages your child to engage in word and picture play and to have fun with color. Paint the wall above the frieze a deeper shade than the area below to give the room a child-friendly scale. Installing an alphabet frieze is as simple as nailing up two parallel strips of panel molding: Space the strips slightly closer together than the height of the cards themselves. To insert the cards, bend them a little, and pop the ends in under the strips. http://www.1stoppostershop.com/products/McGaw/floral/mg_rose... http://www.22september.org/charte/en/telech1.html Reference: http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=chan...
