Reference

Every function and module the library provides, by file.

Page Provides Source
Triangles triangles_centers_rect, triangles_centers_radial, triangle_vertices src/regular/triangles.scad
Squares squares_centers_rect, squares_centers_radial, squares_vertices src/regular/squares.scad
Hexagons hexagons_centers_rect, hexagons_centers_radial, hexagons_vertices src/regular/hexagons.scad
4.8.8 octagons_centers_rect, squares_8_8_centers_rect, octagons_vertices src/semi_regular/tess_4_8_8.scad
Utilities generic_poly, print_points, filter_center_points, is_point_in_list, points_equal, get_gradient_color, EPSILON src/tessUtils.scad

use <tessella/tess.scad> provides all of them. include <tessella/tess.scad> also provides EPSILON.

The files under src/ can be imported one at a time; each regular tiling pulls in the utilities it needs. tess_4_8_8.scad is the exception: it calls squares_centers_rect() without importing squares.scad, so import it through tess.scad.

Conventions that hold throughout:

  • Points are [x, y]. A list of centres is a list of points. A list of vertices is a list of polygons, each a list of points, in the same order as the centres it was computed from.
  • Lengths are in the units of your model. Angles are in degrees.
  • Only generic_poly() and print_points() are modules. Everything else is a function.
  • The triangle function is triangle_vertices, singular. The others are plural: squares_vertices, hexagons_vertices, octagons_vertices.
