Coloring 2D Metallic-Mean Quasicrystal Tilings with a Mesh-Based Method

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration provides code to automatically colour 2D quasicrystal tilings with a mesh-based method. it can also be used as an interactive example of the MeshRegion function and its related options introduced with release 11 of the Wolfram Language.
