✦ Synopsis

The fingerprints of these three models can easily and directly be geometrically deduced from the fingerprints of the one-dimensional models. The fingerprints should be viewed as cylinders over a base curve which is precisely the fingerprint of the corresponding one-dimensional edge model. In this way fingerprints of the two-dimensional models can be immediately visualized from their one-dimensional counterparts. We also demonstrate that the range of influence of one edge (upon another edge) located a distance d away begins at a scale of d/3.
