Abstract

The seven frieze patterns are well-known but if one wants to exhibit multiple symmetries in a single strip of material, transitions between them are necessary in order to showcase all available symmetries without abrupt changes of design. This work explores the viable transformations among the seven conventional frieze patterns, with preliminary consideration of extending this result to the seventeen frieze patterns which make use of color-reversal symmetries.
