ab: Summary: We introduce a domain-specific language (DSL) for creating sets of
    tile types for simulations of the abstract Tile Assembly Model. The
    language defines objects known as tile templates, which represent
    related groups of tiles, and a small number of basic operations on tile
    templates that help to eliminate the error-prone drudgery of
    enumerating such tile types manually or with low-level constructs of
    general-purpose programming languages. The language is implemented as a
    class library in Python (a so-called internal DSL), but is presented
    independently of Python or object-oriented programming, with emphasis
    on support for a visual editing tool for creating large sets of complex
    tile types.
