In geometry, the square tiling, square tessellation or square grid is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane.
Description
It has Schläfli symbol of {4,4}, meaning it has 4 squares around every vertex.
John Conway calls it a quadrille.
The internal angle of the square is 90 degrees so four squares at a point make a full 360 degrees.
It is one of three regular tilings of the plane. The other two are the triangular tiling and the hexagonal tiling.
