I can produce a lot of beautiful tiling images that represent specific things.\u00a0 \u00a0Check out some of them below, and if you want to try your hand at it, use the\u00a0Tiling Generator 3.1<\/a> (for Matlab). \u00a0Or use the open-source code PROTOTILE<\/a>, by Billie J. Rinaldi.<\/p>\n

Here are some images I’ve created from self-similar tilings:<\/p>\n

Who says mathematicians don’t make money?<\/p>\n

Did you like those tilings? Do you have Matlab?
\nThen get Tiling Generator 3.1<\/a>, (April 2008) by Natalie Priebe Frank and Billie J. Rinaldi!<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the Manual first. This contains instructions for using the Tiling Generator 3.1.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Download the zipped file TilingGenerator3-1. Open Matlab, get to the path TilingGenerator3-1\/colors.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Typing tiles at the Matlab prompt from TilingGenerator3-1\/colors will launch the software!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
