Hyperbolic overlapping circle grid

Hi Anton, can you make a graphic like this for a hyperbolic plane? File:Flower_of_life_6-levels.png. Like on a {7,3} tiling, projection centered on a heptagon?

Here's a similar pattern on the sphere File:Flower of life on spherical dodecahedron.png. The trick is to make a {n,3} tiling, but instead of n-gons, you make circles, and instead of the circles circumscribing the n-gon vertices, you make the radius of the circles larger so they intersect in the center of the neighboring n-gons. So there just need to be 2 colors, for the digon flowers and triangular gaps. I can recolor from that. No hurry, but I wanted to pique your interest if I could. I'm surprised no one has tried this before.

You can do the same thing for other regular tilings {p,q}, but many have more overlap domains, like the regular icosahedron File:Flower of life on spherical icosahedron.png for instance. Some will be very pretty too if you could color them by intersection domains. Tom Ruen (talk) 17:18, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

It ought to be easy to adapt the code from this. —Tamfang (talk) 23:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

YES, the inner radii of the ring should be the triple intersections I want. (p.s. If only I didn't have 100+ T-shirts from running races!) Tom Ruen (talk) 01:14, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Of course, at this time of year you don't want a t-shirt anyway, you want a mug for your hot chocolate! —Tamfang (talk) 08:10, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Cool! I'm just not materialistic enough. If you need cashflow in exchange for uploads to Wikipedia, mailing a check to you would probably be more profitable. I made some Euclidean interlocking ring patterns in SVG. Tom Ruen (talk) 09:46, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the thought, but you needn't worry about me right now. — Why polygons rather than cubics? —Tamfang (talk) 21:46, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Inside the SVG? I wrote a program for other purposes, but here reads SVG, converts circles to polylines, intersects, allows interactive deleting polyline sections (for over/under effect) and computes closed areas from that, and assigning group colors to closed domains, and exports the SVG again. So its not minimum file sizes at all, but still better than bitmaps. Tom Ruen (talk) 07:12, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities#White history month?. Hello. I'd like to try and understand why you would make those comments about me? And in a public forum, no less? Please help me understand. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I liked those little cedillas, and they certainly weren't hurting anyone; but I suppose thanks is nonetheless in ordre. μηδείς (talk) 18:02, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

You have a point. —Tamfang (talk) 20:39, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Salman Khan, Aishwairya Rai, etc

Salman & Aishwarya were Paired up in Hum Dil Chupke 1999, until Ajay "stole" Aishwarya.

In 2002, Aishwarya acted as a Guest Star Blind Woman in Hum Tumare.

After 2002, did Salman & Aishwarya ever Pair Up again in a 3rd Film with Happy Ending where Salman & Aishwairya have Good Eye Sight? (67.187.181.37 (talk) 09:20, 4 October 2016 (UTC)).

I don't know these people or these movies. I guess you're asking me because I replied to one of your questions on WP:RD/E; I'll repeat what I said there: try this tool http://www.imdb.com/search/common —Tamfang (talk) 20:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Tamfang, I have been called worse things than "some jerk" in my time, but personal insults on the public desks are not something we should indulge in. If you want to restore VoteX's text, you can, provided you "take complete responsibility" for it (per WP:BANREVERT) - a note to make it clear that you're doing this would help. If you think your reply should also have been deleted, you should delete it yourself. Tevildo (talk) 06:24, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Is it a personal insult if I don't know whom I'm insulting? — Now that I've seen the policy I know why you did it, though I'm not yet persuaded. —Tamfang (talk) 06:55, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

An interesting philosophical point - see masked man fallacy. I hope we can both consider that honour has been satisfied. Tevildo (talk) 15:02, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

I have removed your "supposition" since it deals with a BLP and since I have no interest in that person. μηδείς (talk) 19:20, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
