Several uniform regular polygon tiling patterns 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.

We can achieve a herringbone tiling by using grid.pattern_weave()
and particular “twill” weaves of the subtype “n/n(1)”.
function(..., subtype = "2/2(1)") {
grid.herringbone_tiling <-grid.pattern_weave(..., type = "twill", subtype = subtype, density = 1,
spacing = 0.1, angle = 45)
}# 1 color 2:1 herringbone
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
gp <-grid.herringbone_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()
# 2 color 2:1 herringbone
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
gp <-grid.herringbone_tiling(gp = gp, fill2 = red)
popViewport()
# 1 color 3:1 herringbone
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")

We can get a Pythagorean tiling by setting a background color and rotating “convex4” shapes
function(...) {

rot = 15, spacing = 0.2, angle = -15)
}# 1 color Pythagorean tiling

gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
gp <-grid.pythagorean_tiling(gp = gp)
popViewport()
# 2 color Pythagorean 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))
gpar(fill = red, col = "black")
gp <-grid.pythagorean_tiling(gp = gp)

# 3 color Pythagorean tiling

We can get a rhombille tiling by using the “rhombille_rhombus” shape:
function(gp1, gp2 = gp1, gp3 = gp2) {
grid.rhombille_tiling <-grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "rhombille_rhombus", density = 1,
angle = 0, rot = -120, spacing = 0.2,
grid = "hex", gp = gp3)
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "rhombille_rhombus", density = 1,
angle = 0, rot = 120, spacing = 0.2,
grid = "hex", gp = gp2)
grid.pattern_regular_polygon(shape = "rhombille_rhombus", density = 1,
angle = 0, rot = 0, spacing = 0.2,
grid = "hex", gp = gp1)
} gpar(fill = yellow, col = "black")
gp1 <- gpar(fill = blue, col = "black")
gp2 <- gpar(fill = red, col = "black")
gp3 <-# 1 color rhombille tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.rhombille_tiling(gp1)
popViewport()
# 2 color rhombille tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.75, y=0.75, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.rhombille_tiling(gp1, gp2)
popViewport()
# 3 color rhombille tiling
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.25, y=0.25, width=0.5, height=0.5))
grid.rhombille_tiling(gp1, gp2, gp3)
