Rows of regular octagons that share their straight sides, with a small square tucked into every gap.
About this paper
This pattern is the truncated square tiling: each regular octagon shares its top, bottom and side edges with a neighbor, and the diagonal edges frame small squares turned 45°. It is the classic layout of octagon-and-dot floor tiles.
The spacing sets the width of each octagon across its flat sides. Each octagon borders four octagons and four small squares, which makes the grid a neat alternative to squares and hexes for game boards.
Regular octagons cannot tile a flat surface on their own. Two octagons and one square meet at every corner (135° + 135° + 90° = 360°).
