Snowflakes
I love the photographs of snowflakes by W. A. Bentley. From Dover Publications you can get a CD-rom with more than 500 pictures scanned in and ready to use on your computer. This is fantastic. As it is quite hot … Continue reading
Blending tilings
Using semitransparent color to superpose tilings does not work out well because it is too difficult to control. Now I have a better idea. Simply draw the tilings as before. Then blend the pictures pixel by pixel by interpolating their … Continue reading
Crazy graph paper
Here I am using the same morphing of the Ammann-Beenker tiling as in my earlier post “Morphing the Ammann-Beenker tiling“. Thus we see at the top a square grid, in the middle the Ammann-Beenker tiling and at the bottom a … Continue reading

Morphing the tiling of octagons and squares in space
An animated morphing of quasiperiodic tilings passes perhaps too rapidly. As tilings repeat throughout space it is quite natural to show their morphing depending on the position in space or on the computer screen. This we can examine more easily. … Continue reading

Varying iteration
The number of iterations needs not to be a fixed number. It may vary depending on the position in the screen. This can show how iteration progresses, such as in this example: Here I used the iteration method of my … Continue reading

Fooling around
Being tired from gardening and a long day out in the sun I made same programming mistakes and experiments. Thus I found that the iteration methods for quasiperiodic tilings can too be used to create mandala or rose windows. To … Continue reading

Morphing the tiling of octagons and squares – a new twist
In an earlier post I have shown how the tiling of octagons and squares transforms to the Ammann-Beenker tiling by using different lengths for the dual lines. Here I am presenting another modification of the dualization method. The dual lines … Continue reading
