Abstract

A triangular tile latching system consists of a set $\Sigma$ of equilateral triangular tiles with at least one latchable side and an attachment rule which permits two tiles to get latched along a latchable side. In this paper we determine the language generated by a triangular tile latching system in terms of planar graphs.
