A tessellation or tiling is a way to cover something, usually a flat two-dimensional surface, by shapes that fit together perfectly so there are no gaps. Usually when people think about tessellations, ...

Surface tessellations are an arrangement of shapes which are tightly fitted, and form repeat patterns on a surface without overlapping. Imagine the pattern of a giraffe's fur, the shell of a tortoise ...

Tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps. These squares make a tessellating pattern. You can make a tessellating pattern from just one type of shape or a number ...

Escherllate is a fun browser sketchbook built around tessellation. You draw on a central tile, and your lines instantly repeat across surrounding copies. The result is a living pattern that updates in ...

A tessellation, or tiling pattern, can be repeated endlessly without showing any seams or obvious empty areas. Many such patterns are freely available online; creating your own, though, could help you ...
