A Truchet array is a square grid of geometric tiles,generating random seamless patterns. Each tile has either 2 or 4 alternative appearances,which are continuously displayed at random. The resulting patterns can appear quite complex. The idea was created by Sebastien Truchet,an eclectic monk born in 1729. He was a mathematician and designer who explored plane coverage using tileable elements.Truchet tiles have two different edges,left-right and top-bottom. When tiled in a chequer board layout,all tile edges will match and a seamless geometric pattern results | |
