BP335 Tessellates the plane vs. does not tessellate the plane.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

EX7152 is an example of a shape than can be stretched in such a way that it no longer tessellates the plane. This is a property that is only exhibited by shapes that tessellate with rotated copies of themselves. - Leo Crabbe, Mar 05 2021

BP344 Shape can tile itself vs. shape cannot tile itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are sometimes called "rep-tiles."


The tiles all must be the same size. More specifically, all left examples can tile themselves only using scaled down and rotated versions of themselves with all tiles the same size. Right examples cannot tile themselves using scaled down rotated versions of themselves or even reflected versions of themselves with all tiles the same size.


Without the puzzle piece-like shape EX4120 on the right side the current examples also allow the solution "shape can tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram vs. shape cannot tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram."
