Wave Polyhex


Wave

The wave polyhex is the 4-polyhex formed by joining four regular hexagons edge-to-edge in a zigzag chain. It is one of the seven 4-polyhexes when shapes that differ only by translation, rotation, or reflection are identified (Gardner 1978, p. 147). Its cell-adjacency graph is the path graph P_4.

The shape is invariant under a rotation through 180 degrees about its center.
