ASYMMETRICAL METERS AND AREAS

¹ an example of asymmetrical meters M 1/35b H7 V5.

M
meter

The meter is a fixed point with a surrounding area.
The meter is used to accomplish an equal partition of the surface.
A meter is numbered from left to right and top to bottom.

The asymmetrical meters divide a surface by a different number of meter intervals horizontally H and vertically V.

Examples:

M 1/2 H2 V1
M 1/3 H1 V3
M 1/4 H4 V1
M 1/6 H3 V2

The asymmetrical meters with the additional letter b include the surface border and the four corners.

Examples:

M 1/2b H2 V1
M 1/3b H1 V3
M 1/4b H4 V1
M 1/6b H3 V2

The asymmetrical meters with the additional letters Hb include only the horizontal surface border and Vb include only the vertical surface border.

Examples:

M 1/6Hb H3 V2
M 1/6Vb H3 V2

A
area

The area surrounds the meter and is defined by the rows and columns between meters. 
The area and its meter have the same numbering.

The asymmetrical areas surround the asymmetrical meters and are defined by a different number of intervals horizontally H and vertically V.

Examples:

M 1/2 H2 V1, A 1/2
M 1/3 H1 V3, A 1/3
M 1/4 H4 V1, A 1/4
M 1/6 H3 V2, A 1/6

Examples:

M 1/2b H2 V1, A 1/2b
M 1/3b H1 V3, A 1/3b
M 1/4b H4 V1, A 1/4b
M 1/6b H3 V2, A 1/6b

Examples:

M 1/6Hb H3 V2, A 1/6b
M 1/6Vb H3 V2, A 1/6b
