Galvagni Figures for Polymings

Definitions

A polyming, or pseudo-polyiamond, is a figure formed of equilateral triangular cells joined edge to edge or vertex to vertex at 60° or 120° angles. A Galvagni figure is a minimal figure that can be tiled with a polyform in two or more ways. Math Magic for November 2004 shows Galvagni figures for many kinds of polyforms.

A rounded polyiamond is a polyming with rounded corners and little bridges at the vertex-connections to hold the tile together. See Abaroth's page Rounded Polyiamond Puzzles.
