Example non-degenerate shim sets based on a single oblique angle for (r, s, p) = (z, y, x) gradient orientation

Base angle (degrees) Shim set
0 X, Z, Z2, ZX, X2 – Y2, Z3, Z2X, Z(X2 – Y2), X3
45 X, Z, Z2, ZX, ZY, Z3, Z2X, Z2Y, ZXY
90 X, Y, Z2, XY, X2 – Y2, Z2X, Z2Y, X3, Y3
135 X, Z, Z2, ZX, ZY, Z3, Z2X, Z2Y, ZXY

Angular ranges are 45° centered on given base angles.
