Abstract: Abstract Part of a plane tiling using Penrose rhomb tiles: they tile the plane nonperiodically and cannot be used to tile the plane periodically. The first example of such an aperiodic set had over 20 000 types of tiles. Using replacements to implement the recursive ideas that underlie a Penrose tiling makes the generation of such images in Mathematica simple.
