See the Paterson link for the definition.
Restatement of the definition: A polydrafter is a polygon formed by joining 30-60-90 triangles, according to the following rules:
(a) Two triangles may be joined along their short legs, with their right angles touching;
(b) Two triangles may be joined along their long legs, with their right angles touching;
(c) Two triangles may be joined along their hypotenuses, in either direction;
(d) The short leg of triangle 1 may be joined to half of the hypotenuse of triangle 2, with the right angle of triangle 1 touching the midpoint of the hypotenuse of triangle 2.

Examples

			a(3) = 14 because there are 14 tridafters. The second Vicher link shows various arrangements of them.

These are conforming polydrafters as in A056842, as defined by Ed Pegg. They do not include extended polydrafters. See the Logelium link.

Examples

			For n=2 there are 6 proper didrafters.  Four are convex:  the rectangle, the kite, the moniamond (equilateral triangle), and the monopons (30°-30°-120° triangle). Thus a(2) = 4.
