Hi, coloin!

Sorry it didnt work for you - not sure why
On re-reading I appreciate that you just want the min lex pattern.

Right you are. I need pattern canonicalization, so any tool I use must read pattern as input and produce pattern as output.

Unfortunately it is quite possible, that 2 puzzles having the same essentially different patterns will have not coinciding minlex form patterns.

What? IMO the "same essentially different" anything sounds/is oxymoronic.

I agree, "equivalent" (instead of "the same essentially different") sounds better.
