The tristicks

All polysticks of order 3 — figures built from 3 cells. Unit line segments of the square lattice joined end to end — also called polyedges or polyforms of the square grid's edges.

Free 5 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 7 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 22 polysticks

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