A semiregular or uniform tiling has one type of vertex, but two or more types of
faces.

A non-edge-to-edge tiling can have different sized regular faces.
Euclidean plane tilings by convex regular polygons have been widely used since a
ntiquity. The first systematic mathematical treatment was that of Kepler in his
Harmonices Mundi (Latin: The Harmony of the World, 1619).

Regular Tilings[edit]
Following Grnbaum and Shephard (section 1.3), a tiling is said to be regular if t
he symmetry group of the tiling acts transitively on the flags of the tiling, wh
ere a flag is a triple consisting of a mutually incident vertex, edge and tile o
f the tiling. This means that, for every pair of flags, there is a symmetry oper
ation mapping the first flag to the second. This is equivalent to the tiling bei
ng an edge-to-edge tiling by congruent regular polygons. There must be six equil
ateral triangles, four squares or three regular hexagons at a vertex, yielding t
he three regular tessellations.

Vertex-transitivity means that for every pair of vertices there is a symmetry op
eration mapping the first vertex to the second.[1]
If the requirement of flag-transitivity is relaxed to one of vertex-transitivity
, while the condition that the tiling is edge-to-edge is kept, there are eight a
dditional tilings possible, known as Archimedean, uniform or semiregular tilings
. Note that there are two mirror image (enantiomorphic or chiral) forms of 34.6
(snub hexagonal) tiling, only one of which is shown in the following table. All
other regular and semiregular tilings are achiral.

Grnbaum and Shephard distinguish the description of these tilings as Archimedean
as referring only to the local property of the arrangement of tiles around each
vertex being the same, and that as uniform as referring to the global property o
f vertex-transitivity. Though these yield the same set of tilings in the plane,
in other spaces there are Archimedean tilings which are not uniform.

Such periodic tilings may be classified by the number of orbits of vertices, edg
es and tiles. If there are {\displaystyle k} k orbits of vertices, a tiling is k
nown as {\displaystyle k} k-uniform or {\displaystyle k} k-isogonal; if there ar
e {\displaystyle t} t orbits of tiles, as {\displaystyle t} t-isohedral; if ther
e are {\displaystyle e} e orbits of edges, as {\displaystyle e} e-isotoxal.
k-uniform tilings with the same vertex figures can be further identified by thei
r wallpaper group symmetry.
1-uniform tilings include 3 regular tilings, and 8 semiregular ones, with 2 or m
ore types of regular polygon faces. There are 20 2-uniform tilings, 61 3-uniform
tilings, 151 4-uniform tilings, 332 5-uniform tilings and 673 6-uniform tilings
. Each can be grouped by the number m of distinct vertex figures, which are also
called m-Archimedean tilings.[2]

Other types of vertices in Euclidean plane tilings[edit]
For edge-to-edge Euclidean tilings, the internal angles of the polygons meeting
at a vertex must add to 360 degrees. A regular {\displaystyle n\,\!} n\,\!-gon h
as internal angle {\displaystyle \left(1-{\frac {2}{n}}\right)180} \left(1-{\fra
c {2}{n}}\right)180 degrees. There are seventeen combinations of regular polygo
ns whose internal angles add up to 360 degrees, each being referred to as a spec
ies of vertex; in four cases there are two distinct cyclic orders of the polygon
s, yielding twenty-one types of vertex.
Only eleven of these can occur in a uniform tiling of regular polygons, given in
previous sections.
In particular, if three polygons meet at a vertex and one has an odd number of s
ides, the other two polygons must be the same. If they are not, they would have
to alternate around the first polygon, which is impossible if its number of side
s is odd. By that restriction these six cannot appear in any tiling of regular p
olygons:
3 polygons at a vertex (unusable)

Dissected regular polygons[edit]
Some of the k-uniform tilings can be derived by symmetrically dissecting the til
ing polygons with interior edges, for example:
Dissected polygons with original edges

Dissected dodeca

(each has 2 orientations)
Some k-uniform tilings can be derived by dissecting regular polygons with new ve
rtices along the original edges, for example:

2-uniform tilings[edit]
There are twenty 2-uniform tilings of the Euclidean plane. (also called 2-isogon
al tilings or demiregular tilings)[3][4][5] Vertex types are listed for each. If
two tilings share the same two vertex types, they are given subscripts 1,2.

Higher k-uniform tilings[edit]
k-uniform tilings have been enumerated up to 6. There are 673 6-uniform tilings
of the Euclidean plane. Brian Galebach's search reproduced Krotenheerdt's list o
f 10 6-uniform tilings with 6 distinct vertex types, as well as finding 92 of th
em with 5 vertex types, 187 of them with 4 vertex types, 284 of them with 3 vert
ex types, and 100 with 2 vertex types.
Tilings that are not edge-to-edge[edit]
Convex regular polygons can also form plane tilings that are not edge-to-edge. S
uch tilings can be considered edge-to-edge as nonregular polygons with adjacent
colinear edges.
There are seven families of isogonal each family having a real-valued parameter
determining the overlap between sides of adjacent tiles or the ratio between the
edge lengths of different tiles. Two of the families are generated from shifted
square, either progessive or zig-zagging positions. Grunbaum and Shephard call
these tilings uniform although it contradicts Coxeter's definition for uniformit
y which requires edge-to-edge regular polygons.[6] Such isogonal tilings are act
ually topologically identical to the uniform tilings, with different geometric p
roportions.
