    The fundamental region is a shape such as a rectangle that is repeated to form the tessellation. [22] For example, a regular tessellation of the plane with squares has a meeting of four squares at every vertex. [18] The sides of the polygons are not necessarily identical to the edges of the tiles.

    In geometry, the rhombille tiling, [1] also known as tumbling blocks, [2] reversible cubes, or the dice lattice, is a tessellation of identical 60° rhombi on the Euclidean plane. Each rhombus has two 60° and two 120° angles; rhombi with this shape are sometimes also called diamonds. Sets of three rhombi meet at their 120° angles, and sets ...

    The duotone pattern is characterized by a tessellation of light and dark solid checks alternating with light-and-dark diagonally-striped checks—similar in pattern to gingham plaid but with diagonally-striped squares in place of gingham's blended-tone squares. Traditionally, houndstooth uses black and white, although other contrasting colour ...
