SymmeToy



SymmeToy is a
program for creating paint patterns, symmetry roses, tessellated art and
symmetrically decorated 3D polyhedron models. The program is easy to
learn, fun to use and includes extensive online help. Appropriate for
all ages, but especially for ages 8 to adult.
SymmeToy is especially popular with artists and young
people. Artists like the ability to produce symmetric art without the
drudgery of redrawing the same picture over and over again. Kids like to color the pictures in various ways, and experiment with the color wheel to change their color schemes with the
click of a button. My bet is that working with the program also improves
their abilities at spatial visualization. Personally, I like SymmeToy
because it gives me the power to control up to 20 drawing pens, going
every which way on my computer screen, all at once. I also like the
program because it fulfills
a promise that I made to myself long,
long ago.
SymmeToy at one time cost $25, but is now free. The program runs on
Windows XP or Vista. SoftExpressions used to be the vendor of SymmeToy,
and they created a very useful description and tutorial concerning the
program which is still available here:
