Tessellation from a hexagon

This tessellation is based on a hexagon! Simply draw a design on one side of a hexagon (e.g. points A, B), and copy it to the opposite side. (without reflection or rotation) Apply the same progress to other sides of the hexagon, and the figure created tessellates the plane. Points A, B, E and F can be dragged to morph the tessellation.
