A vortex crystal is a quasistationary, symmetric array of intense vortices (clumps). A low level of background vorticity is experimentally observed to assist three clumps in forming an equilateral triangle starting from initial positions on a linear array. The triangle constitutes a unit cell of a crystal in a many-vortex system. The background vortex curbs the orbital motion of the clumps with unequal strengths to arrest them at the vertices of an equilateral triangle by wrapping them with different sized belts of depleted vorticity (ring holes). We characterize the contributions of a low-level background vorticity distribution on the formation of ordered states of clumps in light of the experimental results and existing theories.
