POLYOMINO_ENUMERATE, a FORTRAN90 program which enumerates chiral, fixed and free polyominoes of moderate order.
POLYOMINO_ENUMERATE does not compute anything; it simply stores a list of counts for polyominoes of orders 0 through 28, and when given a particular order, returns the corresponding number of polyominoes.
A polyomino is formed by connecting a number of unit squares. The order of a polyomino is the number of squares used in its formation. When we ask how many polyominoes there are of a specific order, we must state whether we distinguish two polyominoes which differ only in reflection or rotation.
For "chiral" or "one-sided" polyominoes, we do not regard rotations as producing a distinct polyomino;
for "fixed" polyominoes, reflections and rotations can produce a polyomino that is regarded as distinct;
For "free" polyominoes, we do not regard reflections or rotations as producing a distinct polyomino;.
Counts are given for chiral, fixed, and free polyominoes. Note, also, that for orders of 7 and more, the counts include polyominoes that have "holes".

POLYOMINO_ENUMERATE is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version and a Python version.
PENTOMINOES, a FORTRAN90 library which provides some utilities for manipulating pentominoes.
POLYOMINO_CONDENSE, a FORTRAN90 program which cleans up a matrix that represents a polyomino by setting all nonzero entries to 1, and removing initial and final rows and columns of zeros.
POLYOMINO_EMBED, a FORTRAN90 library which is given matrices defining a region R and a polyomino P, and determines the number of possible embeddings of the polyomino into the region, and the translations necessary to achieve them.
POLYOMINO_INDEX, a FORTRAN90 library which is given a matrix defining a polyomino P, and determines a correspondingly shaped matrix which contains an index for each nonzero entry in P.
POLYOMINO_LP_WRITE, a FORTRAN90 program which writes an LP file describing a (binary) integer programming problem related to the tiling of a region R by copies of polyomino shapes, with possible reflections and rotations.
POLYOMINO_TRANSFORM, a FORTRAN90 program which applies reflection and rotation transforms to the matrix that represents a polyomino.
