penrose – A TikZ library for producing Penrose tilings
This package provides a TikZ library for drawing Penrose tiles. It currently supports the kite/dart, rhombus, and pentagon tile sets. There are two main methods for their placement: one that automatically generates a tiling, and one that allows for “by hand” placement. Furthermore, the tiles themselves can be deformed and will still (hopefully!) fit together in the correct fashion.
