tessellation
of triangle - Flash movie
All triangles tessellate using rotation
and translation.
tessellation
of quadrilateral - Flash movie
All quadrilaterals tessellate using
rotation and translation.
tessellation
of quadrilateral
Drag the vertices of the "model"
quadrilateral and see how its images tessellate the plane.

Tiling
Transformer
Start with a tiling of squares or
regular hexagons. Perform repeated transformations - insert triangles,
quadrilaterals or pentagons, draw the dual tiling.

Robert Fathauer combines the topics
of tiling and fractals. The encyclopedia is an attempt to describe all
distinct fractal tilings of the plane. See also the Mathematical

Tessellations - Marjorie Rice
Marjorie Rice discovered four new
tessellating pentagons in the late 1970's. So far only fourteen
types of convex pentagon that tile the plane have been found.
