Summary description: A TikZ library for producing Penrose tilings
Announcement text:
The penrose package is for the creation of Penrose tilings in TikZ using kite-and-dart, rhombuses, or pentagon-based systems, and either by manual placement or automatic generation.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/penrose The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/penrose/

Penrose – A TikZ library for producing Penrose tilings
This package provides a TikZ library
for drawing Penrose tiles.
It currently supports the kite/dart, rhombus, and pentagon tile sets.
There are two main methods for their placement:
one that automatically generates a tiling,
and one that allows for by hand
placement.
Furthermore, the tiles themselves can be deformed and
will still (hopefully!) fit together in the correct fashion.
This package is now superseded by package tilings, which deals with more extensive tiles than just the Penrose tile sets.
