Summary description: A TikZ library for drawing tiles and tilings
Announcement text:
This is a replacement of the penrose package which has been updated and extended to handle other tilings such as the new aperiodical monotiles. In addition to using the predefined tiles, it allows for easy definition of new tiles.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tilings More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tilings CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Ina Dau --

tilings – A TikZ library for drawing tiles and tilings
This package provides a TikZ library for working with tiles, tilings, and tessellations. Using it, one can define tiles, place tiles, deform tiles, and — in some cases — apply replacement rules to generate tessellations. It has pre-defined tiles for most of the Penrose tile sets and the aperiodical polykite tiles.
This is a replacement for the penrose package, renamed as it now deals with more extensive tiles than just the Penrose tile sets.
