Tessellation
I'm going to play with this ninepatch unit to see if I can make it tessellate.
What if I place 4 units with their white squares together in the center of a block and then combine 4 blocks?
Two shapes are used to fill the space so this is not a tessellation.
What if I use color to join a square to the wheel-like shape that surrounds it?
I think that this qualifies as a kind of tessellation.
What if I start again and place a different corner of the ninepatch unit in the center of the block?
This isn't a tessellation either.
What if I alter the original ninepatch unit slightly?
Now a single shape is repeated to fill the space and I have a tessellation.
What if I start again with the original ninepatch unit and alternate white and black squares at the center of the block? This time I'll combine 6 blocks and rotate them to make a pattern.
This doesn't tessellate but I like the pattern so I don't care
For more tessellation go to My Posts by Subject in the sidebar on the right and click on Tessellation.
