Several [uniform regular polygon tiling patterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_tiling) can be achieved by use of `grid.pattern_regular_polygon()` plus occasionally `grid.polygon()` to set a background color.  This vignette highlights several such tiling patterns plus a couple notable non-uniform tiling patterns.

<a name="triangle">Triangular tiling</a>
-----------------------------------------

When we consider the background to be a triangle fill color we can straight-forwardly
achieve several of the [uniform colorings of a triangular tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_tiling#Uniform_colorings) using the "convex3" shape with the "hex" grid.

```{r}
grid.triangular_tiling <- function(...) {
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(..., shape = "convex3", density = 1, grid = "hex",
                                 spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, rot = 180)
}
# 1 color uniform triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
gp <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
grid.triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 2 color uniform triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
gp <- gpar(fill = red, col = "black")
grid.triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 3 color uniform triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(blue, red), col = "black")
grid.triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 4 color uniform triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(red, blue, green), col = "black")
grid.triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()
add_borders()
```

<a name="square">Square tiling</a>
----------------------------------

We can achieve the nine non-staggered [uniform colorings of a square tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_tiling#Uniform_colorings) using the "square" shape and the appropriate "type" (and perhaps "subtype").

```{r}
# 2 color uniform square tiling (1212)
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(yellow, red), col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "square", density = 1, 
                             spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, gp = gp)
popViewport()
# 2 color uniform square tiling (1122)
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(yellow, red), col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "square", density = 1, type = "horizontal",
                             spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, gp = gp)
popViewport()
# 3 color uniform square tiling (1213)
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(yellow, red, blue), col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "square", density = 1,
                             spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, gp = gp)
popViewport()
# 4 color uniform square tiling (1234)
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(yellow, red, blue, green), col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "square", density = 1,
                             spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, gp = gp)
popViewport()
add_borders()
```

<a name="hexagon">Hexagonal tiling</a>
--------------------------------------------

We can achieve all the [uniform colorings of a hexagonal tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling#Uniform_colorings) using the "convex6" shape with the "hex" grid and the appropriate "type".  Replacing the "convex6" shape with an appropriately scaled "star6" shape results in a uniform tiling using star polygons.

```{r}
grid.hexagonal_tiling <- function(..., shape = "convex6", spacing = 0.2) {
    scale <- star_scale(6, 30)
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(..., shape = shape, density = 1, grid = "hex",
                                 spacing = spacing, scale = scale, angle = 0)
}
# 1 color uniform hexagonal tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
grid.hexagonal_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# One of several 2 color uniform hexagonal tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(red, yellow), col = "black")
grid.hexagonal_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 3 color uniform hexagonal tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(yellow, red, blue), col = "black")
grid.hexagonal_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# (4.6_{π/6})^3
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
gp <- gpar(fill = red, col = "black")
grid.hexagonal_tiling(shape = "star6", spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)
popViewport()
add_borders()
```

<a name=elongatedtriangle>Elongated triangular tiling</a>
---------------------------------------------------------

We can achieve the [uniform colorings of a elongated triangular tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_triangular_tiling) using the "elongated_triangle" grid and the "convex4" and "convex3" shapes.

```{r}
grid.elongated_triangular_tiling <- function(...) {
    grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gpar(fill = yellow, col = NA))
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(..., shape = rep(c("convex4", "convex3"), each = 2), 
                                 density = rep(c(1.41, 1.15), each = 2), 
                                 grid = "elongated_triangle",
                                 type = "square_tiling", subtype = "3412",
                                 spacing = 0.2, angle = 0, 
                                 rot = rep(c(45, 0), each = 2))
}
# 1 color elongated triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
grid.elongated_triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 2 color elongated triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(red, red, yellow, yellow), col = "black")
grid.elongated_triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 3 color elongated triangular tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = c(red, blue, yellow, yellow), col = "black")
grid.elongated_triangular_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()
add_borders()
```

<a name=snubsquare>Snub square tiling</a>
-----------------------------------------

We can achieve the two [uniform colorings of a snub square tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_square_tiling) using a "star4" shape and a "convex4" shape.

```{r}
grid.snub_square <- function(..., gp_sq, gp_sq2 = gp_sq, gp_tri = gp_sq) {
    scale_star <- star_scale(4, 90 + 60, external = TRUE)
    grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gp_sq)
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "star4", scale = scale_star,
                                 angle = 0, rot = 15, spacing = 0.2,
                                 density = 1.4, gp = gp_tri)
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "convex4", scale = scale_star,
                                 angle = 0, rot = 60, spacing = 0.2,
                                 density = scale_star * 1.4, gp = gp_sq2)
}

# 2 color uniform snub square tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp_y <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
gp_r <- gpar(fill = red, col = "black")
grid.snub_square(gp_sq = gp_y, gp_tri = gp_r)
popViewport()

grid.snub_square(gp_sq = gp_r, gp_sq2 = gp_b, gp_tri = gp_y)
popViewport()

# 1 color uniform hexagonal tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.snub_square(gp_sq = gp_y)
popViewport()

pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
popViewport()
add_borders()
```

<a name=truncatedsquare>Truncated square tiling</a>
---------------------------------------------------

We can achieve the two [uniform colorings of a truncated square tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_square_tiling#Uniform_colorings) using the "convex8" shape rotated 22.5 degrees.  Adding in an extra (possibly alternating) "star8" shape results in a uniform tiling using star polygons.


```{r}
# 2 color uniform truncated square tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = red, col = NA)

gp <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "convex8", density = 1.082, rot = 22.5, 
                             angle = 0, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)
popViewport()

                             angle = 0, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 3 color uniform truncated square tiling with star
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = red, col = NA)
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gp)
gp <- gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "convex8", density = 1.082, rot = 22.5, 
                             angle = 0, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)

                             angle = 0, scale = scale, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)
popViewport()

# 4 color uniform truncated square tiling with an alternating star
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gp <- gpar(fill = blue, col = NA)
grid.polygon(x_sq, y_sq, gp = gp)
gp <- gpar(fill = c(red, yellow), col = "black")
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "convex8", density = 1.082, rot = 22.5, 
                             angle = 0, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)
gp <- gpar(fill = orange, col = c("black"))
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = c("null", "star8"), 
                             density = 1.082, rot = 22.5, 
                             angle = 0, scale = scale, spacing = 0.3, gp = gp)

<a name="truncatedhex">Truncated hexagonal tiling</a>
-----------------------------------------------------

We can achieve a [truncated hexagonal tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_hexagonal_tiling) using the "convex12" shape with a 15 degree rotation in a "hex_circle" grid.  The related "star12" variations are fun tilings as well.

```{r}
# 2 color uniform truncated hexagonal tiling
grid.truncated_hexagonal_tiling <- function(..., shape = "convex12") {
    scale <- star_scale(12, 60, external = TRUE)
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(..., shape = shape, density = 1.034, spacing = 0.3,
                                 angle = 0, rot = 15, scale = scale, 
                                 grid = "hex_circle")

```

<a name="trihexagon">Trihexagonal tiling</a>

We can achieve one of the [uniform colorings of a trihexagonal tiling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trihexagonal_tiling#Uniform_colorings) using the "convex6" shape with a "hex_circle" grid and rotating the shape 30 degrees.  

There are topologically equivalent tilings using the "star6", "star3", and "convex3" shapes that also provides an interesting tiling effect.

```{r}
grid.trihexagonal_tiling <- function(..., shape = "convex6", density = 1) {
    grid.pattern_regular_polygon(..., shape = shape, density = density, grid = "hex_circle",
