Applying scaling to tessellations turned out to be the way to vary pattern density or tone. Scaling polygons are not equilateral. One side is aligned edge-to-edge with equilateral prototiles, and the other side with scaled similar polygons. The polygons are finite in shape but duplicated at progressively smaller scales. Areas with small polygons can be dense and compact, creating dark tones. Areas with larger polygons are light and open.  more...
