Lett. 60, #25, 1988 or Strandburg in Computers in + Physics, Sep/Oct 1991. + + This implementation uses the simpler version of the growth + algorithm, i.e., if there are no forced vertices, a ran- + domly chosen tile is added to a randomly chosen vertex (no + preference for those 108 degree angles). + + There are two essential differences to the algorithm pre- + sented in the literature: First, we do not allow the + tiling to enclose an untiled area. Whenever this is in + danger of happening, we just do not add the tile, hoping + for a better random choice the next time. Second, when + choosing a vertex randomly, we will take one that lies + withing the viewport if available. If this seems to cause + enclosures in the forced rule case, we will allow invisi- + ble vertices to be chosen. + + Tiling is restarted whenever one of the following happens: + there are no incomplete vertices within the viewport or + the tiling has extended a window's length beyond the edge + of the window horizontally or vertically or forced rule + choice has failed 100 times due to areas about to become + enclosed. + + Although quasiperiodic tilings are produced, the tiles + themselves are not penrose tiles (darts and kites). In + contrast to penrose tiles, these tiles can be arranged to + form a periodic tiling. + + +OOPPTTIIOONNSS + _p_e_n_r_o_s_e accepts the following options: + + --wwiinnddooww Draw on a newly-created window.
