The seventeen plane tiling groups, as illustrated in 1999 by Geometry Technologies at ScienceU.com --

Six of these plane tiling groups are illustrated by figures
that also occur in the 1976 preprint Diamond Theory:


p4m


pmm


p4g


p4


pmg


pm

The eleven remaining plane tiling groups:


p1


p2


pg


cm


cmm


p3m1


p3


p31m


p6


p6m


pgg

 

These illustrations, taken directly from ScienceU.com pages, are said to be copyrighted by Geometry Technologies in 1999.  The first six illustrations are essentially the same as figures from the preprint "Diamond Theory," by Steven H. Cullinane, published in 1976 and with a copyright notice dated 1976. 

The remaining eleven illustrations are reproduced here for purely scholarly, personal, and noncommercial purposes.
