A polyplet is a polyform consisting of a finite nonempty union of cells of the square tessellation, connected through sides or corners. Holes are allowed. Because neighboring squares can be in relation to one another as kings may move on a chessboard, polyplets are sometimes also called polykings. Free polyplets identify translations, rotations, and reflections. One-sided polyplets identify translations and rotations, while fixed polyplets identify only translations.
