This file has all the modules needed to make a penrose tesslation.

To use, add the following lines to the beginning of your file:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>

File Contents

• PenroseTriangles()
• PenroseTrianglesDivision()
• r2d()
• PenroseTiling()

Function: PenroseTriangles()

Description:

Subdivides the triangles to the correct size.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
triangles	a list of triangle definitions to subdivide.

---

Function: PenroseTrianglesDivision()

Description:

Recursively call the triangles function to subdivide.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
triangles	the initial list of triangles.
division	the number of recursive subdivisions to perform.

---

Function: r2d()

Description:

Convert radians to degrees.

---

Function/Module: PenroseTiling()

Description:

This makes a penrose tiling based on the nice layout with a different type of spaces.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
width	the width of the tiling space
divisions	the number of recursive divisions (default 7)
thickness	the thickness of the stroke to use (default 1)
base	the base divisions of the circle (default 5)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
PenroseTiling(100, divisions=5, thickness=1, base=5);

Example 2:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
PenroseTiling(100, divisions=5, thickness=1, base=7);
