The Cairo pentagonal tiling is named after the plastering pattern of some Cairo streets.
Move the "morph" slider to the left to morph the Cairo tiling into a basketweaving tiling (using 1×2 tiles). Move it to the right to morph it into a tiling with squares.
Click "polycairo tetrad" to see a whole family of tetrads while you move the "morph" slider.
