To create other graph forms than rectangles, create first large rectangular graph, select nodes in Wandora's graph view and remove selected topics. The idea is to cut away useless topics.

Wandora's tiling graph generator creates simple graphs that resemble regular polygon tilings. Available graph tilings are:

  • Square tiling
  • Triangular tiling
  • Hexagonal tiling

Tiling generator starts with option File > Generators > Tiling graph generator.... Tiling graphs can be used to model chemical structures such as graphite and carbon nanotubes for example.

Square tiling

Square tiling is a graph where each vertex is connected to

  • four other vertices if vertex is inside the graph.
  • three other vertices if vertex is on the edge of the graph.
  • two other vertices if vertex is one of the four corners of the graph.

Triangular tiling

Triangular tiling is a graph where each vertex is connected to

  • six other nodes if vertex is inside the graph.
  • four other nodes if vertex is on the edge of the graph.
  • two other nodes if the vertex is one of the three corners of the graph.

Hexagonal tiling

Hexagonal tiling is a graph where each node is connected to

  • three other nodes if the node is inside of the graph.
  • two other nodes if the node is on the edge.
  • one other node if the node is one of the three corners of the graph.
