Truchet Tiles on n-gons
First, I need to come up with generic ways to generate Truchet tiles for 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 12-gons, since these are all the regular ngons used in planar tilings.
Triangles (3-gons)
I've previously covered this in the triangular truchet grid article.
Two notches per side:
Four notches per side:
Squares (4-gons)
Two notches per side:
Four notches per side:
Hexagons (6-gons)
Two notches per side:
Four notches per side:
Octagons (8-gons)
Two notches per side:
Four notches per side:
Dodecagons (12-gons)
Two notches per side:
Four notches per side:
