Various combinations of the above can be used. Stretching – making the tile longer or wider without tearing or breaking Scaling – keeping the same shape but changing the relative size of a tile
Rotation – the action of rotating a tile around an axis or center Reflection – inverting a tile with respect to a plane, each element being transferred perpendicularly through the plane to a point the same distance the other side of it. Symmetrical manipulations are as follows:ĭisplacement (translation) – movement from place or position a certain distance in a certain direction – leaves it appearing ‘the same’. In addition, symmetry principles are characterized by a quietude, a stillness that is somehow beyond the bustling world yet, in one way or another, they are almost always involved with transformation, disturbance, or movement.”2 But in itself symmetry is unlimited there is nowhere that its principles do not penetrate. Symmetry precepts are always involved with categorization, with classification and observed regularities in short, with limits. It creates three-corner 120-degree joints, which provide the triangle’s strength and structural excellence to the package.”1ĭavid Wade tells us, “Any notion of symmetry is completely entangled with that of asymmetry we can scarcely conceive of the former without invoking thoughts of the latter. “Hexagonal tessellation extends the circle’s principle of equality in all directions in a balanced sharing of space, materials, time, and energy. When the circles are converted to hexagons, no gaps are left at all. When circles fill space in a hexagonal pattern, they leave curved triangular gaps between them. Larger curved diamond shaped gaps remain. Curved triangular gaps remain.Ĭircular packing in a square pattern. We will start with one important quality of the hexagon – that of hexagonal packing.Ĭircles, spheres & cylinders fill space more efficiently in a hexagonal pattern than a square pattern.Ĭircular packing in a hexagonal pattern. We will expand from just the hexagon to cover 2D and 3D tessellations and geometric tiling. # Use the extent's spatial reference to project the outputĪrcpy.We will now discuss one important aspect of the hexagon – that of tessellations. # Should result in a 4x4 grid covering the extent. # Multiply the divided values together and specify an area unit from the linear # Divide the width and height value by three. # Find the width, height, and linear unit used by the input feature class' extent # Describe the input feature and extract the extent Output_feature = r"C:\data\project.gdb\sqtessellation" My_feature = r"C:\data\project.gdb\myfeature" # Purpose: Generate a grid of squares over the envelope of a provided feature To create a grid that excludes tessellation features that do not intersect features in another dataset, use the Select Layer By Location tool to select output polygons that contain the source features, and use the Copy Features tool to make a permanent copy of the selected output features to a new feature class.For example, select all features in column A with GRID_ID like 'A-%', or select all features in row 1 with GRID_ID like '%-1'. This allows for easy selection of rows and columns using queries in the Select Layer By Attribute tool. The format for the IDs is A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, and so on. The GRID_ID field provides a unique ID for each feature in the output feature class. The output features contain a GRID_ID field. This occurs because the edges of the tessellated grid will not always be straight lines, and gaps would be present if the grid was limited by the input extent. To ensure the entire input extent is covered by the tessellated grid, the output features purposely extend beyond the input extent.
