Girih tiles

About this app

Five tiles of equal edge length carry strap lines that cross every edge at its midpoint at 54° and therefore continue across every tile boundary. A decagon is constructed with compass and straightedge, tiles can be placed and hidden. A periodic pattern is compared with a Penrose subdivision that has tenfold symmetry without repetition.
