This paper shows that when a tiling is given with a finite protoset whose prototiles are centrally symmetric convex polygons, each prototile occurs in a finite number of orientations in the tiling. Since parallelograms are centrally symmetric convex polygons, all the tilings with parallelograms, for example, Penrose tiling and Ammann tiling, have a finite number of orientations of each prototile. However right triangles with different side lengths are not centrally symmetric convex polygons. Pinwheel tiling is an example of tilings whose prototiles appear in an infinite number of orientations.
