Prototiles derived from the bar polyominoes form an infinite family of fractal tilings. The domino through pentomino cases are shown here. The monomino f-tiling can be considered the first member of this family. Mirroring the tiles between successive generations would generate another infinite family, but the appearance would be similar to the unmirrored family shown.
Triangular prototile
Minimum rotation: &pi
Generating polygons: domino/bar tromino/bar tetromino/bar pentomino
Scaling factors: These are easily obtained from the Pythagorean theorem. Each has the form 1/&radic(1 + n^2), where n is the number of squares making up the bar polyomino.
Rotation between generations: These have the form arctan(1/n)
