Neat word!

I wonder :
Is it called by the same term, a dactylogram,
both if it is done as a print-out design, or also as a digital image, or representation, or enlargement, of the lines?

Or is it only one type of fingerprint representation, that would be labeled, as a dactylogram?

My iPad requires an dactylogram to enter it.

 

[Kaila]

My iPad requires an dactylogram to enter it.

Thanks for that info, Pappy.

No wonder your iPad did not let me use it, when I tried
And I didn't comprehend the message that popped up on it:
Incorrect Dactylogram

I divorced my wife 38 years ago after finding other men's Dactylograms on her.

Dactyl (dactylic feet) is also a poetic term.

And I thought it was some kind of dinosaur.

 

[Kaila]

I had thought it might be a mathematical name for one of those 3-dimensional shapes.

 

[Kaila]

The term, dactylogram, also seems like it might be a measurement of weight, but it isn't!

 

[RubyK]

I don't recall if I have ever been dactylogrammed in my life!

Do you have whorls, loops, or arches?

 

[RubyK]

Do you have whorls, loops, or arches?

Huh?

 

[ohioboy]

Huh?

Those are the 3 general types of fingerprint patterns, (compare post 2), lines, ridges, deltas, etc. The kind of triangle you see at the lower left is called a Delta.

 

[RubyK]

@ohioboy ~ Can't see any Deltas on my fingers. Do you have one?

You must have Arches, same as me, they have no Deltas.

This is a very good article descriptively. I learned about fingerprint classifications in Criminal Justice courses in College.
