Stained Glass... that could be nice. I'd have to work on the leading. Thanks
for the idea.
I don't know what Conway lines are, but please enlighten me. The lines are a
normal function:
#declare phi=Phi-1;
#declare Fc1 = Phi;
#declare Fc2 = phi;
#declare Func = function {
         cos(x) * cos(z) + cos((sqrt(Fc1)*x-z)/Fc2) *
         cos((x+sqrt(Fc1)*z)/Fc2) + cos((sqrt(Fc1)*x+z)/Fc2) *
         cos((x-sqrt(Fc1)*z)/Fc2) }

You can change Fc1 and Fc2 to get different patterns. I found this function
