1.
A portion of the plane tiled with hexagons
|
2.
We connect the edges of one of the sides with a broken line.
|
3.
Rotate for 120 degrees clockwise.
|
4.
Once again.
|
5.
Now connect the edges of another sides with a broken line
|
4.
Rotate this broken line for 120 degrees clockwise (the canter of the rotation
is clear).
|
7.
And again.
|
8.
The last broken line to draw.
|
9.
Rotate once.
|
10.
And once more; we see the crocodile.
|
11.
We now start with translations.
|
12.
This translations is along 3 times the horizontal vector equal to the
side of the hexagon and pointing to the left.
|
13.
We keep using translations.
|
14.
Always along vectors 3 times the side of the hexagon.
|
15.
This time the vector is parallel to another side of the hexagon.
|
16.
All of the translations are along vectors parallel to the sides of the
hexagon.
|
17.
Which portion has been translated?
|
18.
Start with some color.
|
19.
One more croc.
|
20.
And one more; they fit nicely.
|
21.
One more.
|
22.
One more.
|
23.
One more
|
24.
One more; we can do that ad nauseam.
|
25.
The last croc in the picture.
|
26.
We erase the background with hexagons to get the final picture.
