Thanks, let me know how the playing goes.  I like the curves too.  Take a
look
at "Pathways" in the 2004 POVcomp.  That kind of image is why I did this.
Now if I only had the artistic eye and talent to get the rest of the way
there!  (Computer Science majors aren't always known for their artistic
abilities. 8^)

The next thing I plan to add is a group of objects to do with edges what the
existing macros do with vertices.  That is, all the ways you can put two
tiles together on a single edge, instead of all the ways you can put tiles
around a single point.  I think that set might help if someone wants to
create a new curve through the tiling.
