If you want to tile a single existing image file, there is a way of
modifying it so it will seamlessly tile a plane. Using a paint program,
copy the image. Then, create a new image with each dimension being twice
that dimension in the original image. Paste a copy of the original image
into the top-left corner. Paste another copy in the bottom-left corner, but
flip this copy around the horizontal axis so it is upside-down. Paste a
third copy in the top-right corner, flipped so it is mirrored around the
vertical axis. Paste a fourth copy in the remaining corner flipped both
horizontally and vertically. Save the resulting image. This image then can
be tiled seamlessly with itself. A similar variant done entirely in POV-Ray
can be used to make 'infinite' height-fields and similar things.
