Tesselation type

Iterative

In iterative approach each side of regular poligon is splitted into divisions intervals. Below are tesellated hexagons with divisions equal to 1, 2 and 3

Recursive

In recursive approach polygon is recursively splitted into triangles divisions times. Below are tesselated pentagons with divisions equal to 1, 2, 3. When divisions is 2 each triangle splitted into 4 triangles and when divisions equal to 3, each of them splitted into 4 triangles again.
