[seqfan] Re: Coord. seqs., the coloring book approach; 2-uniform tilings

[Neil Sloane]

Joerg,

The very last page of the version on the arXiv is a mystery,
where it says "This figure "grid2.png" is available in "png" format from:
 http://arxiv.org/ps/1803.08530v1"  That sentence was not part of the
original version
that we sent to the arXiv.

I have put a better version of the article (without that sentence) on my
home
page, and dated March 28 2018.
See http://neilsloane.com/  and specifically
http://neilsloane.com/doc/Cairo.pdf

Re Bib entry [16]:
 C. Goodman-Strauss and N. J. A. Sloane, A Tiling Coloring Book, 2018
 (available from the authors).
, you asked "Is this online somewhere?"  The answer is No.  In fact it is
not finished.
