Truchet tiling
--------------
This directory contains what I wrote for the contest proposed by
Denis Girou and Philippe Esperet at the GUTenberg congress on
June 1 & 2, 1995. The problem is known as `Truchet tiling'. There were
two parts: coloration of lines, and colorations of surfaces.
Initially, the problem would have to be solved using pure PostScript
or PSTricks. I prefered to use METAPOST. A survey of all the solutions
will appear in a forthcoming issue of ``Les Cahiers GUTenberg''.
Main files in this directory:
example.mp : the METAPOST source file
example.dvi : the example.mp source file formatted with `mft'.
example.1 : METAPOST output (PostScript file)
...
example.5 : METAPOST output (PostScript file)
mproof.ps : Output #5 formatted with mproof.tex.
(i.e. in writing tex 'mproof example.5')
plain.mft : the style needed for the application of `mft'
readme.tex : a presentation of the METAPOST techniques used (*in french*)
(this file uses the `logo' fonts extended by Knuth)
text.tex : test file showing the five previous figures.
tiling.mp : the METAPOST macro file.
tiling.dvi : the tiling.mp source formatted with `mft'.
