Islamic Stars

Hankin's polygons-in-contact star patterns over eight periodic tilings.

Whole woven strands keep their color. Optional outlines and the second pattern share the selected pens. Starts with 4 pens and works with anywhere from 1 to 8.

Settings

Tiling, Repeat (mm), Contact angle°, Contact offset, Second angle° (own pen), Show tiling (own pen), Strap width (mm), Crossings, Interlace gap (mm).

The preview uses the default settings on A4. Press R in the app for random variations. The SVG export is in millimetres with one Inkscape layer per pen, so it works with the AxiDraw extension, vpype and saxi.
