hi all

i am trying to write some code to display:

a) hexagon tiling, rather like a honeycomb in 2D

b)  equilateral triangles tiling , all space filled by said triangles. eg a series of triangles whose base is parallel to base of plot, with inverted triangles filling in the remaining spaces

c) square tiling

for a,b c I  want about 50 of each displayed (all of edge length 1) on the one plot

d)  some code to superimpose a,b and c on the same plot (to compare the three).

i've made an attempt with limited success.
