Abstract
Islamic designers drafted a large variety of hexagonal patterns in various media, including stone, tile, wood and cloth,
throughout the medieval Islamic world. To highlight the geometric similarities among these patterns, we present
a simple scheme to classify different types of hexagonal tilings in Islamic architecture, using a single numerical
parameter.
