The template for the IH7 system is any hexagon with adjacent pairs of sides equal; within each pair the two sides are at 120° of one another, as shown below . All six 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. An example of a template is
A translation cluster is
A section of the tiling formed from this template is also shown below, with a translation cluster outlined. The two basic translations are indicated by the vectors drawn from the highlighted cluster. The tiling has three types of centres of three-fold rotation symmetry. An example of each is indicated. The tiling symmetry group is p3.
