==Isogonal polyhedra and 2D tilings== {| class=wikitable align=right |+ Isogonal tilings |[[File:Isogonal snub square tiling1.svg|160px]] |- |Distorted [[square tiling]] |- |[[File:Distorted truncated square tiling.png|160px]] |- |- |A distorted<BR>[[truncated square tiling]] |} An '''isogonal polyhedron''' and 2D tiling has a single kind of vertex. An '''isogonal polyhedron''' with all regular faces is also a '''[[uniform polyhedron]]''' and can be represented by a [[vertex configuration]] notation sequencing the faces around each vertex. Geometrically distorted variations of uniform polyhedra and tilings can also be given the vertex configuration. {| class=wikitable width=570 |+ Isogonal polyhedra !D<sub>3d</sub>, order 12 ![[Pyritohedral symmetry|T<sub>h</sub>]], order 24 !colspan=2|[[Octahedral symmetry|O<sub>h</sub>]], order 48 |- valign=top !4.4.6 !3.4.4.4 !4.6.8 !3.8.8 |- valign=top |[[File:Cantic snub hexagonal hosohedron2.png|150px]]<BR>A distorted [[hexagonal prism]] (ditrigonal trapezoprism) |[[File:Cantic snub octahedron.png|140px]]<BR>A distorted [[rhombicuboctahedron]] |[[File:Truncated rhombicuboctahedron nonuniform.png|140px]]<BR>A shallow [[truncated cuboctahedron]] |[[File:Cube truncation 1.50.png|140px]]<BR>A hyper-truncated cube |} Isogonal polyhedra and 2D tilings may be further classified: * ''[[Regular polyhedron|Regular]]'' if it is also [[isohedral]] (face-transitive) and [[isotoxal]] (edge-transitive); this implies that every face is the same kind of [[regular polygon]]. * ''[[Quasiregular polyhedron|Quasi-regular]]'' if it is also [[isotoxal]] (edge-transitive) but not [[isohedral]] (face-transitive). * ''[[Semiregular polyhedron|Semi-regular]]'' if every face is a regular polygon but it is not [[isohedral]] (face-transitive) or [[isotoxal]] (edge-transitive). (Definition varies among authors; e.g. some exclude solids with dihedral symmetry, or nonconvex solids.) * ''[[Uniform polyhedron|Uniform]]'' if every face is a regular polygon, i.e. it is regular, quasiregular or semi-regular. * ''Semi-uniform'' if its elements are also isogonal. * ''Scaliform'' if all the edges are the same length. * ''[[Noble polyhedron|Noble]]'' if it is also [[isohedral]] (face-transitive).
