This is an image of all trigram like symbol sets. The image represents all possible n-grams with lengths zero to eighteen. Going from lower portion of the image to the upper shows n-grams from zero to unity. The left side is all even n-grams and the right side is all odd n-grams.

*In the language called Processing. Code available to those interested.
