Stripe Sequence Vector Encoder
Encode actual ordered stripe colour ID sinto zero-based indices of a caller palette; not a sequence generator or canonical flag identity.
Description
An ordered stripe palette vector represents each stripe by its position in a declared palette.
An ordered stripe palette vector represents each stripe by its position in a declared palette.1
The same colors in another order therefore produce a different vector.
When to use Stripe Sequence Vector Encoder
Use this tool when you need to reproduce the stated calculation from measured records or independently selected model inputs. Establish the flag dimensions, orientation, specification, palette, or visual annotations needed for this particular calculation.
How to use Stripe Sequence Vector Encoder and understand its results
- Establish the flag dimensions, orientation, specification, palette, or visual annotations needed for this particular calculation.
- Enter orderedStripeColorIds, callerPaletteOrder, following the field table and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result. Use the output meanings below to interpret units, signs, flags, and any nested result fields.
- Correct reported input issues and run again. For a successful result, check the stated evidence coverage and assumptions before using it in your review.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| orderedStripeColorIds | Ordered stripe color ids | list of string | Required |
| callerPaletteOrder | Caller palette order | list of string | Required |
Enter a nonempty unique palette of nonblank exact color IDs and a nonempty ordered stripe list. Look up each stripe ID in the palette and return zero-based indices. Unknown IDs cause an input error; no color normalization or generation occurs.
vector_i=indexOf(palette,stripeColor_i) Symbols follow the input and output meanings and the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Calculated observation or reference | object |
| result.stripePaletteVector | Stripe Palette Vector | list |

}Limitations and assumptions
The calculation uses supplied geometry, observations, or annotations. It does not establish an official construction specification, national identity, or universal design quality.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Evidence arrays must be dense, with no missing cells. String lists allow at most 128 strings of at most 128 characters. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related review, use Tricolor Stripe Width Split Calculator: A tricolor split divides an extent perpendicular to its three stripes. Positive ordered weights allow unequal bands while keeping the intended stripe order explicit. For a complementary step, use Pan-Slavic Color Set Membership Checker: A palette check can record whether the conventional white, blue, and red set is present. Color membership alone does not establish a flag’s political, ethnic, or national identity.
