1{HEscher}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Education.B.Escher}
4The familiar tiling of a kitchen or bathroom wall is usually
4produced by placing square or rectangular tiles edge-to-edge and
4corner-to-corner over the wall. Many more interesting tilings can be
4formed by tiles of more complex shapes. Such tilings are produced by
4placing a shaped tile in a number of orientations, repetitively over
4a plane. For the tiles to fit together, only certain orientations of
4the tiles can be used, and they in turn constrain the allowed
4shapes. In spite of these restrictions, there are vast numbers of
4possible tilings which are really limited only by one's imagination.
4The Dutch artist M C Escher was the great pioneer and exploiter of
4this idea.
4This program allows appropriate shapes to be generated and the
4associated tilings to be produced.
