Offset Triple Columns/Lines/Waves

This concept has 3 distorted 1x4 setups in a 4x4 matrix. The "shear line" crosses the individual 1x4 setups, with an offset of one matrix position, or is 100%. Because the overall setup is a 4x4, it is necessary for the caller to indicate which way the 1x4 subsetups go. Hence one must specify "Columns", "Lines", or "Waves". One can use "Standard" to help with this. As with other offset concepts, the actual population of live people determines which way the offset goes, and the placement of live people must be unambiguously consistent with one or the other of these diagrams (assuming that the 3 1x4's run up and down the page):

This population:

\syhBBBBs{.+.,.+.,b4w,.+.,g3w,.+.,g2w,b1e}
+ + + + 4 2 + + 3 1 + + 2 4 1 3


is sufficient to determine that the diagram on the right applies. Legal calls include non-shape-changing 1x4 calls:

\syhBBBBs{...,...,b4w,.+.,g3w,.+.,g2w,b1e} \syhBBBBs{...,...,.+.,g4w,.+.,g1w,b1w,b2w}
4 2 + + 3 1 + + 2 4 1 3 + + 4 2 + + 1 3 1 3 2 4

Calls that go to a 2x2 box are also legal:

\syhBBBBs{.+.,.+.,b4w,.+.,g3w,.+.,g2w,b1e} \sxhBBBBs{.+.,b2w,.+.,b1w,.+.,g1w,g2e,.+.}
+ + + + 4 2 + + 3 1 + + 2 4 1 3 + + 2 4 + + 1 3 + + 1 3 2 4 + +
before Offset Triple Waves Ah So after


The result in this case is 3 2x2 formations, each offset by two matrix positions, which is 100%. The overall result is a 2x8 matrix. This interpretation fits well with the Offset Triple Boxes concept, described previously. One can use the "Working Forward/Back/etc." designators with this concept, as well as "standard".
