Square-Triangle Tiling

The substitution tiling only uses squares and triangles.

 

Since the triangle transforms two different ways, there are two colors used.

 The following diagram shows the blue triangle BT0 to BT3.

The vertices of the transform become hexagons of green triangles in subsequent transforms. The green hexagon transform, which grows at every vertex, is shown H0 to H3.
