[pstricks] exagonal tessellation of euclidean plane

[Juergen Gilg]

Hi Fosk,

here some quick tries with _multido_ -- hope this helps.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\begin{document}
\def\hexagon{%
\pspolygon(2;0)(2;60)(2;120)(2;180)(2;240)(2;300)(2;360)
}
% notation of the vertices in POLAR COORDINATES
 
\begin{pspicture}(-5,-2)(5,2)
\rput{0}(0,0){\hexagon}
\rput{30}(3,0){\hexagon}%{30} = rotation 30 degrees Counterclock
\end{pspicture}
 
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-2)(9,6)
\multido{\r=0+3.4641}{4}{%
\rput{30}(\r,0){\hexagon}
}
\multido{\r=1.73205+3.4641}{4}{%
\rput{30}(\r,3){\hexagon}
}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Regards,

Juergen
