+What this third parameter actually does it rotate time. To better illustrate this you can run `drawLine x(3,8)`, which shows the pattern on a linear timeline, with x showing events:
+
+`|x..x..x.|x..x..x.|x..x..x.|x..x..x.|x..x..x.|x..x..x.|x..x..x.`

+By rotating it by one step (3,8,1) the pattern now looks like this

 You can also use the euclid function to apply a Euclidean algorithm over
 a complex pattern, although the structure of that pattern will be lost:
