Penrose

Penrose (and Penrose-like) tiling generation with numpy, using de Bruijn's multigrid method. Visualisation with Pillow. Experiments and interactive stuff (hopefully).

Usage

To generate the original Penrose two-rhomb tiling, simply run

python3 examples/original-tiling.py

There are more examples to get inspired by in the examples folder.

RESOURCES

All of these build mostly on N. G. de Bruijn's work.
