The yellow hexagons don't look regular in this image, though I know it's just an optical illusion. --Euclidthegreek (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can think of the hexagons as truncated equilateral triangles, since that's what they are in this coloring. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hexagonal tiling is rigid?

The article says that the hexagonal tiling is "rigid" unlike the square tiling, which can be deformed into parallelograms. It seems to me that the hexagons could be flattened while keeping the edges the same length and connected in the same fashion. Pciszek (talk) 04:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
