Galvagni Figures & Reid Figures for Hexahexes

A hexahex is a figure made of six regular hexagons joined edge to edge. A Galvagni figure is a figure that can be tiled by a polyform in more than one way—a kind of self-compatibility figure. A Reid figure is a Galvagni figure without holes.

Most of the hexahex Galvagni and Reid figures were found by Dr. Michael Reid of the University of Central Florida.
