Received: 4 August 2011; in revised form: 29 November 2011 / Accepted: 2 December 2011 / Published: 12 December 2011 Abstract: We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral tilings by -omino or -iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains and the tilings have 3-, 4-, or 6-fold rotational symmetry. The symmetry groups of such tilings are of types p3, p31m, p4, p4g, and p6. There are no isohedral tilings with p3m1, p4m, or p6m symmetry groups that have polyominoes or polyiamonds as fundamental domains. We display the algorithms’ output and give enumeration tables for small values of . This expands earlier works [ 1,2] and is
