Functions with Multiple Periods
Functions with multiple variables can have multiple periods.
Out[1]= |  |
Tesselating rectangles split the plane into regions where the function repeats.

Out[2]= |  |
A function of a single complex variable can have two periods, in two different complex directions.
Out[3]= |  |
Out[4]= |  |
Adding either of these periods to the input variable will leave the function unchanged.
Out[5]= |  |
However, in this example the two complex directions are not perpendicular.
Out[6]= |  |
This means that the repeating blocks in the complex plane are parallelograms rather than rectangles.
