Edge-covering plane-filling curves on grid colorings: a pedestrian approach

Abstract

We describe families of plane-filling curves on any edge-to-edge tiling of the plane with regular polygons and finitely many classes of edges. It is shown how to partition the minimal number of edge classes from the group G of symmetries of the tiling into refined colorings of the tiling, corresponding to finite subgroups of G. All of these colorings correspond to families of plane-filling curves which we call curve-sets. Our exposition is driven by illustrated examples.
