Tübingen Tiling

A systematic way to generate quasiperiodic tilings of the plane is to take a lattice in higher dimensions and slice it at a funny angle. Greg Egan has created an applet that generates quasiperiodic tilings by projecting selected triangles from an nn-dimensional lattice called the AnAn lattice onto a plane. This particular picture comes from the A4A4 lattice.
