Except for very narrow strips it is not easy to display a comprehensive sample of still lifes. Since there are 28 symmetry classes for a strip of width 4, one would need a strip at least 28 lines long; but there are at least twice as many links so it takes an even longer strip to show every possibility of branching at least once. Typical cycles are even harder to portray in full generality.
