Generic pattern algorithms (language agnostic)

I'm sorry to ask such a vague and generic question, but I need to write a set of tools that will aid people in creating 2D and 3D geometric patterns.

Does anyone know any good online resources that discuss pattern logic and algorithms (Wikipedia call it tesselations)?

Much obliged, David

  • I'll take this:

    You're not sorry, you are apologizing - there is a difference. The only dumb question is one you should have asked and didn't, see Smith's Law. There are a few tools, you will have to do some work if you want to write them yourself. I suggest Java as it's popularity as a research platform makes it likely good work is available plus is has run-time bumpers that make it useful as a sand-boxing tool for preliminary work.

    Looks like you already found it.
