The smaller A-tile, denoted A S, is an obtuse Robinson triangle, while the larger A-tile, A L, is acute; in contrast, a smaller B-tile, denoted B S, is an acute Robinson triangle, while the larger B-tile, B L, is obtuse. Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles ...
In information visualization and graphic design, Truchet tiles are square tiles decorated with patterns that are not rotationally symmetric. When placed in a square tiling of the plane, they can form varied patterns, and the orientation of each tile can be used to visualize information associated with the tile's position within the tiling.

This means that, for every pair of flags, there is a symmetry operation mapping the first ...
