When designing a self-assembling system, the desired goal may be the creation of an assembly with a target shape. However, it may instead be an assembly that serves as surface onto which a desired pattern of cargo molecules are attached. In the domain of the aTAM, this problem is typically represented as the problem of weakly self-assembling a pattern of colored tiles.

A set of Python and Java programs that generate aTAM systems related to these constructions, as well as example systems, can be downloaded here:
