Catalog of the 81 types

Each figure shows a patch of the type, with the tile colors of the type; the middle tile is amber. The page is generated from the type data when the documentation is built. So that types of the same default shape can be told apart, the figures do not use the default parameters and straight edges. Each parameter is moved 40 percent of the way from its default to the nearer finite end of its safe range (by 0.15 if both ends are infinite), and every edge of shape J (free), U (mirror symmetric) or S (rotation symmetric) has a fixed curve of that shape (a wave, a bump, an S), and edges with different edge shape ids get different curves. Edges of shape I stay straight. If the prototile is not valid, the parameter step and the curve heights are halved, up to four times; the figure then falls back to the default value or to a straight edge. The figures illustrate the symmetry of the type, not a recommended shape. Aspects is the number of tiles per lattice cell, Parameters the number of free parameters, Edges the shape of each edge of the prototile (I straight, J free curve, U mirror symmetric, S rotation symmetric) and Edge ids the number of distinct edge shape ids, which is the number of curves a tiling can carry. Reflections says whether some aspects are mirror images. find_types selects types by these properties.
