modpattern

This package provides exactly one function: modpattern

It is defined similarly to the official tiling function, but it fixes some caveats, as can be seen here:

modpattern function

The function with the signature
modpattern(..args, background: none)
has the following parameters:

• args with
  • positional body as the inside/body/content of the tiling
  • necessary named size as a pair of two lengths
  • and the other named arguments the offical tiling type provides, currently:
    • offset: a pair of lengths translating the content
    • spacing: a pair of lengths changing distance between tiling repetition
• background allows any type allowed in the box fill argument. It gets applied first

Notice that, in contrast to typst tilings, size is a necessary argument.

Take a look at the example directory, to understand how to use this and to see the reasoning behind the background argument.
