Suggest to show the points. This will make the images less mysterious but more helpful for visual analysis. Best regards, jj * Thane Plambeck <tplambeck@gmail.com> [Jan 09. 2016 18:48]:
Make a 23x23 square array of points, numbered from 1 to 529 row-wise. Remove all the points whose number is congruent to 0, 1, or 2 modulo 5. Then compute the Voronoi cells of that arrangement of points inside a bounding rectangle.
This is the picture you get (use VoronoiMesh[] in Mathematica)

Here's another one with different values of 23, 0, 1, 2, 5, so to speak (unfortunately I forgot to write them down in my enthusiasm)

Anyway, this seems to be a simple way to make lots of interesting looking tilings on the cheap.
(1) I can't possibly be the first person to do this...I'd welcome references (2) Can all the wallpaper groups be realized this way?
