These are tessellations that tile the entire plane, both right-to-left and top-to-bottom.
You will write a program that draws so-called Wallpaper tessellations. Famous among these are the 17th century German mathematician/astronomer Johannes Kepler, and the 20th century Dutch artist MC Escher. Many have studied the patterns in these works. The tilings at the Alhambra palace during Spain's Moorish rule are held in especially high reguard for their beauty, diversity and complexity. Ceramic tiling feature tessellations reached an artform in Persian, Islamic and Ancient Roman architecture. lists (via polygons and text manipulation)Ī tessellation is a surface tiling of the plane using one or more geometric shapes.
drawing shapes with the graphics package.You will be practicing the following concepts from prior labs: Each geometric shape that is tessellated will be written in its own function, which will be used repeatedly to fill the plane of the graphics window. In this project, you will make a program that draws some tessellations.
