Tiling graph generator

Revision as of 19:05, 13 April 2012

Wandora's tiling graph generator creates simple Topic Maps 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, graphene and carbon nanotubes for example.

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 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.
