There are 17 combinations of regular convex polygons that form 21 types of plane-vertex tilings. [6] [7] Polygons in these meet at a point with no gap or overlap. Listing by their vertex figures, one has 6 polygons, three have 5 polygons, seven have 4 polygons, and ten have 3 polygons. [8]
An example of uniform tiling in the Archeological Museum of Seville, Sevilla, Spain: rhombitrihexagonal tiling Regular tilings and their duals drawn by Max Brückner in Vielecke und Vielflache (1900) This table shows the 11 convex uniform tilings (regular and semiregular) of the Euclidean plane , and their dual tilings.
A k-uniform tiling is a tiling of tilings of the plane by convex regular polygons, connected edge-to-edge, with k types of vertices. The 1-uniform tiling include 3 regular tilings, and 8 semiregular tilings. A 1-uniform tiling can be defined by its vertex configuration.
In geometry, a uniform tiling is a tessellation of the plane by regular polygon faces with the restriction of being vertex-transitive. Uniform tilings can exist in both the Euclidean plane and hyperbolic plane. Uniform tilings are related to the finite uniform polyhedra; these can be considered uniform tilings of the sphere.
Tessellation using Texas-shaped non-convex 12-sided polygons. If only one shape of tile is allowed, tilings exist with convex N-gons for N equal to 3, 4, 5, and 6. For N = 5, see Pentagonal tiling, for N = 6, see Hexagonal tiling, for N = 7, see Heptagonal tiling and for N = 8, see octagonal tiling. With non-convex polygons, there are far fewer ...
A p-gonal regular polygon is represented by Schläfli symbol {p}. Many sources only consider convex polygons, but star polygons, like the pentagram, when considered, can also be regular. They use the same vertices as the convex forms, but connect in an alternate connectivity which passes around the circle more than once to be completed.
The complete list of convex polygons that can tile the plane includes the above 15 pentagons, three types of hexagons, and all quadrilaterals and triangles. [5] A consequence of this proof is that no convex polygon exists that tiles the plane only aperiodically, since all of the above types allow for a periodic tiling.
Three regular polygons, eight planigons, four demiregular planigons, and six not usable planigon triangles which cannot take part in dual uniform tilings; all to scale.. In geometry, a planigon is a convex polygon that can fill the plane with only copies of itself (isotopic to the fundamental units of monohedral tessellations).
