Visualization of Periodic Tilings

  • Chapter

  • 550 Accesses

Summary

Delaney symbols provide a fundamental data-structure for periodic tilings. Based on this observation, algorithms have been developed and implemented for the systematic enumeration, visualization and interactive manipulation of periodic tilings of the plane, sphere and hyperbolic plane.
