In some tessellations, a certain arrangement of shapes may form
an overall regular polygon shape. We can modify the tessellation
by rotating this arrangement of shapes around its center. Because
the arrangement is a regular polygon, rotating it will not affect the rest of the tessellation.
See the section on regular polygons for details.

Here is another example of the rotation technique for generating
new tessellations.

 You may proceed to the templates page to access tessellations
on which you can practice the rotation technique.
