Abstract
In the past we presented an algorithm that can fill a region with an infinite sequence of randomly placed and progressively smaller shapes, producing a fractal pattern. In this paper we extend that algorithm to fill rectangles and triangles that tile the plane, which yields wallpaper patterns that are locally fractal in nature. This produces artistic patterns which have a pleasing combination of global symmetry and local randomness. We show several sample patterns.
