Tiling graph generator

Revision as of 18:38, 26 October 2008

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.

To create more complex graph forms you can always cut away needless vertices i.e. remove needless topics in the graph.

Square tiling

Square tiling generator creates a rectangle tiling of given width and height. 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.

Gives a graph topic map

Triangular tiling

Triangular tiling generator creates a triangular graph form of given height. 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.

gives you a graph

Hexagonal tiling

Hexagonal tiling generator creates a triangular graph form of given height. 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.

gives you a graph
