Example Tilings

Classic Penrose tiling of thick and thin rhombs. See this example live in the applet.

Penrose tiling

A faux-Penrose tiling. It uses the same cutting plane orientation, and therefore is made of the same thick and thin rhombs, but at a different offset so that it doesn’t satisfy the edge-matching rules of a true Penrose tiling. (The thick rhombs are all colored black for visual effect.) See this example live.

icy

A 5-axis tiling with a different cutting plane orientation. Has a vaguely crystalline appearance. See this example live.

crytal like

A 5-axis tiling that looks like ordinary (3-D) cubes with cracks running between them in two directions. See this example live.

red blue world

A rainbow 6-axis tiling. See this example live.

color wheel

A flowery 7-axis tiling. See this example live.
