Baiocchi Figures for Polynars

Introduction

A polynar is a plane figure formed by joining equal squares at edges and half-edges. László Molnár used trinars in some of his puzzles.

A Baiocchi Figure for a polyform is a polyform that the given polyform can tile, having the maximum symmetry for its class of polyform. For polynars, this is square symmetry.

Here I show the smallest known Baiocchi Figures for polynars with 1–4 cells. If you find a smaller solution or solve an unsolved case, please write.
