Abstract
A new operation called collage on one-dimensional (respectively two-dimensional) word languages was introduced in [2]. It is obtained by piling up, one on top of the other, words of a given recognizable language on a previously empty one-dimensional (respectively two-dimensional) array. In this paper we extend this operation to hexagonal picture languages, and show that if P is a hexagonal picture language over one letter alphabet then Collage(P) is recognizable.
