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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.
