This is an inkscape drawing based on one of the levels in the open source hex-a-hop game. It doesn't look much like the original but I like it with these colors better. The hexagons in the game were not true regular hexagons and I drew them based on the original design. 十六進位 六角 它 六角三角躍點
This picture is meant to show people the supreme shapes. They were designed to be big enough to see clearly. I made them in inkscape, which is currently the best free vector graphics program available for Linux. When dealing with the natural world we live in, we tend to not appreciate the most basic things around us. Many colors, numbers, and shapes, make up the objects which we see and feel. Although there are endless variations of everything,I have noticed that almost everything man made tends to resemble one of 4 common shapes. Also, look up the definition of supreme and you'll see why I like this word. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/supreme regular quadrilateral(square) The square is my favorite shape of all. All of it's four sides are the same length. Many people think that a square and rectangle are different things, however, a square is a type of rectangle. Other rectangles may have a different width/height ratio but all types of rectangles are useful for building things(brick houses,legos,chessboards,etc). It's also the only type of shape which can actually be represented accurately on a computer screen because pixels are squares. If you look around you, you'll probably find that squares and other rectangles(all of which can be divided into smaller squares), are the most commonly made shape of all man-made objects. The 3 dimensional version of a square is called a cube. Most furniture and storage containers are a rectangle on every side. regular triangle A triangle is a 3 sided shape. All triangles are interesting, however, the most commonly used triangle is a regular or equilateral triangle. Regular triangles have something in common with squares in that both of them can tesselate. This means that it's possible fit a bunch of them together with no gaps. Many times, the are useful in making other shapes. regular hexagon A hexagon has 6 sides, but a regular hexagon is the most useful because it is the regular polygon with the most sides that can still tesselate perfectly! A regular hexagon can be formed with 6 regular triangles. circle circles are totally different from the other 3 supreme shapes. They do not tesselate, they can't be described by a number of sides. However, there are two reason that I include them in my definition of supreme shapes. First, they occur in God's creation more than anything else. Almost all plants have circular parts. The stems of plants(and trunks of trees), many fruits, and maybe every living animal. Although not all things are perfect circles, many things on the human body are mostly round. Rarely do you find anything that is flat or straight. The second reason is that they are useful for anything that is designed to move. Think of wheels on everything or spheres which are used for nearly every sport. Round things move easy. This is the total opposite of rectangles which are useful when you need something to stay in one place. 廣場 圓 三角形 最高的形狀
I give up on naming all these. If somebody comes up with a good name for it though I might change it. 六角 鑲嵌 3 月 六角鑲嵌 2011 年 3 月 3 日
I like using strange shapes to make squares. It also resulted in tetragrams. 六角 廣場 六角 六邊形正方形 Tetragrams
I put my favorite regular polygons inside circles and gave them colors to match the circle opposite them. Each type of polygon appears 3 times. I also have a black circle in the middle because I don't want black to be forgotten. 中圈彩虹 4 多邊形 三角形 廣場 中圈彩虹 4 多邊形
These circles fit together tightly give the appearance of a hexagon and in the gaps, a hexagram. 圓 六角 卦 圓六角卦
this is one of the coolest things yet. It almost competes with the chessboard in it's awesomeness. Each of the shapes I could go on forever about but it would be more important to describe how I did it. Starting with the top going clockwise, I made the 4 supreme regular polygons. They are the most well known polygons. The next four shapes I'm unsure if they have a name, but they are created by the gaps between different numbers of circles. They may not be as well known as the regular polygons. Since they are curved instead of straight edged, they could be called polycurves. Last but certainly not least, the circle is in the center. It's not a polygon or a polycurve, but it's the most commonly occuring shape in the universe as far as I know. Also I had to include it since the polycurves were made from circle gaps. 多邊形 最高 形狀 9 最高形狀
There are so many hexagons! A spiral like this can't just added to by simple copy pasting like I do with a chessboard. I had to copy each hexagon one at a time! 120 六角螺旋 顏色 彩虹 120 六角螺旋

This is a picture containing 12 kinds of polygons, some of which also could also be considered a star. The main goal of this is to show that the more points a regular polygon or star has, the closer it becomes to being a circle. The circle is in the middle because I like to have it included and because something should be in the middle. There is also a dodecagon in the vector file which is what held the 12 polygons in the proper place. 圓 三角形 廣場 多邊形星星和圓
These are made of thirds of regular triangles. I made 3 hexagons with hexagrams inside. 三角形 第三次 六角 三分之二的三角形
I was looking in a geometry book at the library and saw regular polygons inside circles. I was curious to see how it works in inkscape. It's actually very easy with inkscape's polygon tool. If you create any regular polygon, then snap it to the center of a circle, then you can snap the 1 node to one of the four orthagonal snap points. 多邊形 內部 圓 內圓的多邊形
there is a lot going on in this picture. there are 4 triangles and 2 hexagons. In the middle it appears to be a dodecagon. 費解 連接 六角 令人費解的連接
