2. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

   Hexagonal tiling. In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling). English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille.

3. Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_tilings_by...

   Euclidean tilings are usually named after Cundy & Rollett’s notation. [1] This notation represents (i) the number of vertices, (ii) the number of polygons around each vertex (arranged clockwise) and (iii) the number of sides to each of those polygons. For example: 3 6; 3 6; 3 4.6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types ...

4. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

   Penrose tiling. A Penrose tiling is an example of an aperiodic tiling. Here, a tiling is a covering of the plane by non-overlapping polygons or other shapes, and a tiling is aperiodic if it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. However, despite their lack of translational symmetry, Penrose tilings may have both ...

5. List of Euclidean uniform tilings - Wikipedia

   The Laves tilings have vertices at the centers of the regular polygons, and edges connecting centers of regular polygons that share an edge. The tiles of the Laves tilings are called planigons. This includes the 3 regular tiles (triangle, square and hexagon) and 8 irregular ones. [4] Each vertex has edges evenly spaced around it.

   Thus a triangular tiling of fundamental units will be generated that is mutually locally derivable from the tiling by the colored tiles. The other figure drawn onto the tiling, the white hexagon, represents a primitive cell of the tiling. Copies of the corresponding patch of coloured tiles can be translated to form an infinite tiling of the ...

7. Cairo pentagonal tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_pentagonal_tiling

   Properties. face-transitive. In geometry, a Cairo pentagonal tiling is a tessellation of the Euclidean plane by congruent convex pentagons, formed by overlaying two tessellations of the plane by hexagons and named for its use as a paving design in Cairo. It is also called MacMahon's net[1] after Percy Alexander MacMahon, who depicted it in his ...
