Tactile-Python is a pure Python port of tactile-js, a library for representing, manipulating, and drawing isohedral tilings on the 2D plane. Craig S. Kaplan created tactile-js based on his PhD thesis.

See tactile's original README file for more information on how to use this library.

pip install tactile

See examples/random_tiles_p5.py which requires p5. It will display random tilings in a window.

BSD 3-Clause License, inherited from tactile-js.
