Example periodic tilings
1-uniform n1.svg
A regular tiling has one type of regular face. 1-uniform n2.svg
A semiregular or uniform tiling has one type of vertex, but two or more types of
faces.
2-uniform n1.svg
A k-uniform tiling has k types of vertices, and two or more types of regular faces.

A non-edge-to-edge tiling can have different sized regular faces.
Euclidean plane tilings by convex regular polygons have been widely used since
antiquity. The first systematic mathematical treatment was that of Kepler in his
Harmonices Mundi (Latin: The Harmony of the World, 1619).

Regular tilings
Following Gr�nbaum and Shephard (section 1.3), a tiling is said to be regular if
the symmetry group of the tiling acts transitively on the flags of the tiling,
where a flag is a triple consisting of a mutually incident vertex, edge and tile of
the tiling. This means that, for every pair of flags, there is a symmetry operation
mapping the first flag to the second. This is equivalent to the tiling being an
edge-to-edge tiling by congruent regular polygons. There must be six equilateral
triangles, four squares or three regular hexagons at a vertex, yielding the three
regular tessellations.

Vertex-transitivity means that for every pair of vertices there is a symmetry
operation mapping the first vertex to the second.[1]

If the requirement of flag-transitivity is relaxed to one of vertex-transitivity,

while the condition that the tiling is edge-to-edge is kept, there are eight
additional tilings possible, known as Archimedean, uniform or semiregular tilings.
Note that there are two mirror image (enantiomorphic or chiral) forms of 34.6 (snub
hexagonal) tiling, only one of which is shown in the following table. All other
regular and semiregular tilings are achiral.

Gr�nbaum and Shephard distinguish the description of these tilings as Archimedean
as referring only to the local property of the arrangement of tiles around each
vertex being the same, and that as uniform as referring to the global property of
vertex-transitivity. Though these yield the same set of tilings in the plane, in
other spaces there are Archimedean tilings which are not uniform.

by 4-isohedral positions, 3 shaded colors of triangles
Such periodic tilings may be classified by the number of orbits of vertices, edges
and tiles. If there are k orbits of vertices, a tiling is known as k-uniform or k-
isogonal; if there are t orbits of tiles, as t-isohedral; if there are e orbits of
edges, as e-isotoxal.

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.
Each can be grouped by the number m of distinct vertex figures, which are also
called m-Archimedean tilings.[2]

Other types of vertices in Euclidean plane tilings
For edge-to-edge Euclidean tilings, the internal angles of the polygons meeting at
a vertex must add to 360 degrees. A regular n-gon has internal angle {\displaystyle
\left(1-{\frac {2}{n}}\right)180} \left(1-{\frac {2}{n}}\right)180 degrees. There
are seventeen combinations of regular polygons whose internal angles add up to 360
degrees, each being referred to as a species of vertex; in four cases there are two
distinct cyclic orders of the polygons, yielding twenty-one types of vertex.

Only eleven of these can occur in a uniform tiling of regular polygons, given in
previous sections.

In particular, if three polygons meet at a vertex and one has an odd number of
sides, the other two polygons must be the same. If they are not, they would have to
alternate around the first polygon, which is impossible if its number of sides is
odd. By that restriction these six cannot appear in any tiling of regular polygons:

Dissected regular polygons
Some of the k-uniform tilings can be derived by symmetrically dissecting the tiling
polygons with interior edges, for example:

Dissected polygons with original edges

Vertex type 3-3-3-3-3-3.svg Hexagonal cupola flat.svg Dissected dodecagon.svg
Hexagon Dodecagon
(each has 2 orientations)
Some k-uniform tilings can be derived by dissecting regular polygons with new
vertices along the original edges, for example:

2-uniform tilings
There are twenty 2-uniform tilings of the Euclidean plane. (also called 2-isogonal
tilings or demiregular tilings)[3][4][5] Vertex types are listed for each. If two
tilings share the same two vertex types, they are given subscripts 1,2.

Higher k-uniform tilings
k-uniform tilings have been enumerated up to 6. There are 673 6-uniform tilings of
the Euclidean plane. Brian Galebach's search reproduced Krotenheerdt's list of 10
6-uniform tilings with 6 distinct vertex types, as well as finding 92 of them with
5 vertex types, 187 of them with 4 vertex types, 284 of them with 3 vertex types,
and 100 with 2 vertex types.

Tilings that are not edge-to-edge

Convex regular polygons can also form plane tilings that are not edge-to-edge. Such
tilings can be considered edge-to-edge as nonregular polygons with adjacent
colinear edges.

There are seven families of isogonal each family having a real-valued parameter
determining the overlap between sides of adjacent tiles or the ratio between the
edge lengths of different tiles. Two of the families are generated from shifted
square, either progressive or zig-zagging positions. Gr�nbaum and Shephard call
these tilings uniform although it contradicts Coxeter's definition for uniformity
which requires edge-to-edge regular polygons.[6] Such isogonal tilings are actually
topologically identical to the uniform tilings, with different geometric
proportions.
