This template is implemented by the Lua module Module:Step vis. See its module page for Lua-based template implementation.

This template invokes the following functions: step_vis from Step vis.

This template should not be substituted.

This template is used to visualize the step pattern of a scale given as a sequence of whole-number step sizes.

Step patterns are entered as shown below. The first parameter should contain the step pattern, with step sizes separated by spaces.

For example, you can use this

{{Step vis|4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4}}

to illustrate the 7L 6s scale in 34edo:

├───┼┼───┼┼───┼┼───┼┼───┼┼───┼┼───┤

Step patterns are drawn using the Unicode box-drawing symbols ├ (U+251C), ┤ (U+2524), ─ (U+2500), and ┼ (U+253C).

Step sizes of 0 are depicted using the symbol ╫ (U+256B), ╢ (U+2562), or ╟ (U+255F), depending on the location.

{{Step vis|5 2 5 0 4 5 0 5 3 1 4 0 5}}

├────┼─┼────╫───┼────╫────┼──┼┼───╫────┤

{{Step vis|0 0 5 2 5 0 0 0 4 5 0 5 3 0 0 1 4 0 2 3 5 0 0 0}}
