Combinations of oscillations with incommensurate periods are utilized to generate discrete planar structures with non-crystallographic symmetries. Some previously known tilings and results are reconsidered in this context. A new kind of decagonal tiling, its relations with the Penrose tilings and some experimental reports are discussed.
