Connectivity pattern
| Examples |
 |
The layers are stacked along the [001] direction using the following connectivity patterns
| |||||||||||||||||||||
|
* relative to the first layer |
Simplest ordered end members
The color of each layer reflects the translation used to generate it from the first layer (see table above).
