SQUAB

Three different ways to display a tiling are offered. The figure of the tiling will be generated in the main folder in the file figure.pdf. The file figure.tex contains the latex source file used to generate the figure.

Draw generates a PDF figure with indices of vertices, edges and faces. It is arguably the most convenient way to visualize a small tiling.
DrawMin generates a pdf figure of the underlying graph without any indices. This function is prefered for medium size tilings. For large tiling though, only the next command should be used.
Print displays the properties of the lattices in the terminal, that is its name, its size, its vertices, its edges and its faces and the incidence relations between them. We use this function either when the coordinates are not defined, making the drawing impossible, or when the tiling is to large to be drawn.

Similar representations of the dual lattice can be obtained with the functions DrawDual and DrawDualMin.

To illustrate these commands, we will print the same tiling and its dual using Draw, DrawMin, DrawDual, DrawDualMin and Print.

Draw a tiling with indices

>>Tiling 6 4 4
>>HoleList 6 11 12 13 18 19 20
>>OpenList 3 28 21 12
>>Draw

Minimum drawing of the tiling

>>Tiling 6 4 4
>>HoleList 6 11 12 13 18 19 20
>>OpenList 3 28 21 12
>>DrawMin

Draw the dual tiling with indices

>>Tiling 6 4 4
>>HoleList 6 11 12 13 18 19 20
>>OpenList 3 28 21 12
>>DrawDual

Minimum drawing of the dual tiling

>>Tiling 6 4 4
>>HoleList 6 11 12 13 18 19 20
>>OpenList 3 28 21 12
>>DrawDualMin

Print the tiling in the terminal

>>Tiling 6 4 4
>>HoleList 6 11 12 13 18 19 20
>>OpenList 3 28 21 12
>>Print
