Now that you have mastered the basic shapes, it is time to make your own drawing. Find a drawing that can be composed of basic shapes. Below we give a few possibilities.
Most countries have flags consisting of rectangles, triangles, lines and circles. Below you can see some possibilities in advance. Do you know which countries those flags belong to? Find some flags of your own that you can draw.
The vertices of the star were computed using this Python script.
import math
# set properties of star
point_count = 5
starting_angle = 90
outer_radius = 1.0
inner_radius = 0.39
# compute polygon points
points = [
(
(inner_radius if index % 2 else outer_radius) * math.cos(math.radians(angle)),
-(inner_radius if index % 2 else outer_radius) * math.sin(math.radians(angle))
)
for index, angle in enumerate(starting_angle + index * 360 / (2 * point_count) for index in range(2 * point_count))
]
# show polygon points
print(' '.join(f'{point[0]:.3f},{point[1]:.3f}' for point in points))
Mattie drew his own version of Kürschák’s tile.
