Identical shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, hexagons, or special five-sided polygons, or shape sets can fill planes, polyhedrons, or curved surfaces without gaps or overlaps {tessellation}|.
types
Tessellation {regular tessellation} can use equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. Tessellation {homogeneous tessellation} {semiregular tessellation} can have congruent common vertices {nodal point, homogeneous tessellation} and regular polygons. Tessellation {non-homogeneous tessellation} can use irregular shapes, different sizes of one shape, or both.
