# Modulo Krinkle Tiling for Adobe Illustrator

Extendscript tool to generate Modulo Krinkle tiling, as described in:

[Miki Imura, *A new non-periodic tiling based on modulo arithmetic*, arXiv:2506.07638](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.07638)

Huge thanks to Miki for discovering this tiling and sharing with us!

## Usage

From Adobe Illustrator, run the script file **Draw Modulo Krinkle Tiling.js** and you will see the interface (see below). Explore the parameters, set the drawing options and click "Draw" to generate the tiling.
