Basic Examples (4) 

Generate a uniform tiling pattern of all 0s:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Generate uniform tiling patterns for the first few positive integers:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Generate a tiling pattern from a set of three templates:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Plot the tiling pattern using ArrayPlot, and use the resource function TilingPatternPlot to show the templates used:

In[4]:=

Out[6]=

Change the dimensions of the tiling pattern and break up the result into generating tiles:

In[7]:=

Out[9]=

Plot a four-color periodic tiling pattern:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Plot all four translates of this tiling pattern:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Scope (2) 

Generate a tiling pattern from a complicated set of templates:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Control the offset of a periodic tiling pattern by setting a seed value:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

A tiling pattern around an {{n,n}} initial condition is not possible for this set of tiles:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

Options (3) 

Boundary (3) 

Generate a tiling on a size-30 torus (i.e. a tiling with a size 30×30 periodic boundary):

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

The minimum periodic region has size 5×6:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

Double-check that value by counting inequivalent translates:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

Possible Issues (2) 

Templates must have the same bounding dimensions:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=

If not, it is always possible to add more blanks:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=
