Catalogue of Polycairinos

Introduction

A polycairino is a figure made by joining cells in the cairo grid at edges or at vertices or both. It is a generalization of a polycairo.

Here I show all the polycairinos with from 1 to 4 cells.

Two-sided polycairinos are identified under reflection as well as rotation. One-sided polycairinos are distinguished under reflection. That is, if a polycairino and its mirror image are distinct, both are counted.
