all possible structures

This operation generates a list of every possible valid structure for a draft of a given size and allows the user to iterate through that list. We define valid as having at least one interlacement in every warp end and weft pick. Selecting size 4 creates 22874 valid structures. You can enter any selection number between 1-22874 to see the structure associated with that number.
