The template for the IH71 system is a square as shown below . All four sides can be shaped but all in the same way, as indicated by the half-arrows. The template and any tile shape formed from it have an axis of reflection symmetry as indicated by the dog pattern.
A translation cluster is
A section of the tiling formed by 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 two types of centres of rotation symmetry, one two-fold and the other four-fold, two different axes of glide and one of mirror reflection symmetry. An example of each is indicated. The tiling symmetry group is p4g.
