tiler_2d

tiler_2d, a Fortran90 code which demonstrates how to graphically "tile" a 2D box with a repeated pattern, using transfinite interpolation.

The box has been divided into subregions that are not rectilinear, nor the same size or shape. A simple "tile pattern" of the letter "R" is used. The program must stretch and twist the pattern to fit into each subregion. The resulting tiled object is written out as a PostScript file.
