tile pattern

Repeating ceramic arrangement

A tile pattern is a repeating arrangement of shapes that covers a surface without gaps or overlaps.

The term applies to actual floor or wall tiles, to decorative designs that mimic such arrangements, and to mathematical tessellations: The bathroom has a classic black-and-white tile pattern.

In computing, tile patterns fill backgrounds or textures through repetition.
