The template for the IH23 system is any pentagon with one pair of equal and parallel sides. All five sides can be shaped as indicated by the half-arrows. The template and any tile shape formed from it have no internal symmetry, as indicated by the dog.
A translation cluster is
A section of the tiling formed by this template is shown below, with a translation cluster outlined. The two basic translations are indicated by the vectors drawn from the highlighted cluster. The tiling has four different centres of two-fold rotation symmetry. Its symmetry group is p2.
