The pentasticks

All polysticks of order 5 — figures built from 5 cells. Unit line segments of the square lattice joined end to end — also called polyedges or polyforms of the square grid's edges.

Free 55 polysticks

Two figures are the same free form if one can be turned into the other by translation, rotation or reflection. This is the usual count — the one that gives 12 pentominoes.

One-Sided 99 polysticks

One-sided forms may be translated and rotated but not flipped over, so a chiral figure and its mirror image are counted separately.

Fixed 372 polysticks

Fixed forms may only be translated. Every distinct rotation and reflection is counted as its own figure.
