help - feedback - sponsor this guide The search term "wallpaper" is ambiguous in that it refers to materials that are used to cover and decorate the interior walls of homes, offices, and other buildings, but it is also a term of art that refers to images displayed as backgrounds on computer screens and is used as a gloss by mathematicians to refer to a group of exactly 17 plane patterns that occur in symmetry groups. The reference to home furnishings is the traditional one, but the reference to computer graphics has become much more commonplace among Web searchers. A more obscure technical reference for wallpaper is to a computer file that contains a listing or transcript, such as a transcript of a login session, the idea being that printouts of such transcripts would have little value beyond their value as cheap wallpaper.
