An article of manufacture bearing an alignment target having at least one of the following attributes: it has no significant rotational symmetry; it has no significant orientation self-similarity or size self-similarity; it is not primarily composed of circles, circular arcs, straight lines, or right angles; and it may have other unique attributes. In one embodiment, the specific alignment targets are shapes consisting of at least one "generalized polar polygon." Such a figure will include radial lines, circular arcs, and spiral segments when drawn in the Cartesian plane. In another embodiment, the specific alignment targets are members of a family of "fan" shapes.
