Talk:Hexagonal tiling

message: The article says that the hexagonal tiling is "rigid" unlike the square tiling, which can be deformed into parallelograms.  It seems to me that the hexagons could be flattened while keeping the edges the same length and connected in the same fashion.

replies: text: Agreed, like brick pattern  is a flattened hexagonal tiling, still equal-edge lengths. SockPuppetForTomruen (talk) 23:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I think we have a serious terminology problem. When we speak of n tilings or n types of tilings, do we mean 
# (as the article seems to assume) n different sets of conditions for the sides and angles of the underlying tile, or 
# (as we seem to be using it in this section) n different symmetries. (Where we are only looking at monohedral arrangements.)? — Sebastian 02:56, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I completed the images of the 13-isohedral tilings as defined in Tilings and Patterns. I'm not sure how charactize this list besides isoehedral. I'm not sure what to call the list of 3 except "3 types of convex monohedral hexagonal tilings" or whatever the sources say. Tom Ruen (talk) 03:40, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I was in need of this measurement for the purpose of making a tiled surface, but could find no good reference for how much to offset every line from the previous one. I made some calculations at https://www.omnicalculator.com/math/hexagon and added the height-to-width ratio to the Hexagon page (under Parameters) for others to use. Perhaps this should go into Hexagonal tiling? JanGB (talk) 07:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Under Monohedral convex hexagonal tilings "type 2", there are images of two tilings that are apparently identical apart from the colouring. Is this correct? It looks to me as if the left-hand all-yellow version is just a miscolouring of the right-hand one (according to the convention that I believe is intended, that green tiles should be the mirror image of yellow). Or is there any valid explanation? Tai Ling (talk) 21:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Monohedral convex hexagonal tilings 

message: It says under "Monohedral convex hexagonal tilings" that "There are 3 types of monohedral convex hexagonal tilings". This seems untrue for any feasible method of counting "tilings", as I would understand it. I assume what is actually meant is that there are three different convex tile types (as defined in the table) that are capable of tiling the plane monohedrally?
