Default Piston ring layout on engine.

Well I am curious as to who has some good pictures or diagrams of piston ring layout when on a piston. I used and did what JE Pistons directions said to. But before I received their rings I researched. The ways people do it amazed me. Hopefully JE's work well.
But, show me some diagrams etc or links, pictures etc to proper layout of all rings on the pistons.
Not a ring gap discussion, just layout.

When you get your rings, the paper wrapping will show you the proper orientation for each ring.

When I rebuilt a motor with no instructions, I installed the rings 120* off of each other based on a friends recommendation. Its worked fine, but I'd like to hear verification of this as well.
