Abstract

A tiling is k−isotoxal if its edges form k orbits or k transitivity classes under the action of its symmetry group. In this article, a method is presented that facilitates the systematic derivation of planar edge-to-edge k−isotoxal tilings from isohedral [pn] tilings. Two well-known subgroups of triangle groups will be used to create and determine classes of k−isotoxal tilings in the Euclidean, hyperbolic and spherical planes which will be described in terms of their symmetry groups and symbols. The symmetry properties of k−isotoxal tilings make these appropriate tools to create geometrically influenced artwork such as Escher-like patterns or aesthetically pleasing designs in the three classical geometries.
