- Tess is a simple demonstration of the symmetries of the 17 wallpaper
- groups. You load in a TIFF and choose a group and a region to use as a
- generator. Tess then makes a tesselation using that generator and
- allows you to print or save the new image.

- Please send bug reports or suggestions to chari@math.utexas.edu.

- COMING SOON: Tile, a generalization of Tess
- including:
-
- - resizable and rotatable generator
- - more graphics input formats
- - Tesselations on a Poincare disk
- - Tilings (Pemrose & Conway)
- - 3D tilings using the NeXT 3DKit
- - Support for copy & paste and the exporting of a template for
- sketching your own generator.
- - More help and online information about the groups. For example, I
- plan to change the group selector to be a scrolling view which
- contains pictures of the lattice unit with sliders to set scaling for
- each one the user will simply scroll and click on the one they want.
