Summary
We describe a family of quadrilateral meshes based on diamonds, rhombi with 60° and 120° angles, and kites with 60°, 90°, and 120° angles, that can be adapted to a local size function by local subdivision operations. The vertices of our meshes form the centers of the circles in a pair of dual circle packings in which each tangency between two circles is crossed orthogonally by a tangency between two dual circles.
