Get canonical form of Z7 index

For Z7 indices that form cycles during decode/encode, returns the lexicographically smallest index in the cycle. Provides stable unique identifiers for aperture 7 grids.

Usage

hexify_z7_canonical(index, max_iterations = 128L)

Arguments

index

Z7 index string

max_iterations

Maximum iterations for cycle detection (default 128)

Value

Canonical form (lexicographically smallest in cycle)
