k-uniform tilings with the same vertex figures can be further identified by their wallpaper group symmetry. 1-uniform tilings include 3 regular tilings, and 8 semiregular ones, with 2 or more types of regular polygon faces. There are 20 2-uniform tilings, 61 3-uniform tilings, 151 4-uniform tilings, 332 5-uniform tilings and 673 6-uniform tilings.
This table shows the 11 convex uniform tilings (regular and semiregular) of the Euclidean plane, and their dual tilings. There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. The semiregular tilings form new tilings from their duals, each made from one type of irregular face.
The {m/2, m} tilings are stellations of the {m, 3} tilings while the {m, m/2} dual tilings are facetings of the {3, m} tilings and greatenings [ii] of the {m, 3} tilings. The patterns { m /2, m } and { m , m /2} continue for odd m < 7 as polyhedra : when m = 5, we obtain the small stellated dodecahedron and great dodecahedron , [ 18 ] and when ...
All three of these tilings are isogonal and monohedral. [26] A Pythagorean tiling is not an edge‑to‑edge tiling. A semi-regular (or Archimedean) tessellation uses more than one type of regular polygon in an isogonal arrangement. There are eight semi-regular tilings (or nine if the mirror-image pair of tilings counts as two). [27]
A given set of tiles, in the Euclidean plane or some other geometric setting, admits a tiling if non-overlapping copies of the tiles in the set can be fitted together to cover the entire space. A given set of tiles might admit periodic tilings — that is, tilings that remain invariant after being shifted by a translation (for example, a ...
Hexagonal tiling is the densest way to arrange circles in two dimensions. The honeycomb conjecture states that hexagonal tiling is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter.
In geometry, the truncated hexagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane.There are 2 dodecagons (12-sides) and one triangle on each vertex.. As the name implies this tiling is constructed by a truncation operation applied to a hexagonal tiling, leaving dodecagons in place of the original hexagons, and new triangles at the original vertex locations.
