In the theory of tessellations, the Conway criterion specifies a sufficient rule for a prototile to tile the plane. This Demonstration shows a construction of tiling using the Conway criterion. Two broken lines of a polygon are parallel and two are central symmetric, satisfying the Conway condition. You can move the red locators.
