Isotoxal Figure
In geometry, a polytope (a polygon, polyhedron or tiling, for example) is isotoxal or edge-transitive if its symmetries act transitively on its edges. Informally, this means that there is only one type of edge to the object: given two edges, there is a translation, rotation and/or reflection that will move one edge to the other, while leaving the region occupied by the object unchanged.
The term isotoxal is derived from the Greek τοξον meaning arc.
