Summary: We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral tilings by \(n\)-omino or \(n\)-iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains and the tilings have 3-, 4-, or 6-fold rotational symmetry. The symmetry groups of such tilings are of types \(\mathbf{p3, p31m, p4, p4g}\), and \(\mathbf{p6}\). There are no isohedral tilings with \(\mathbf{p3m1, p4m}\), or \(\mathbf{p6m}\) symmetry groups that have polyominoes or polyiamonds as fundamental domains. We display the algorithms' output and give enumeration tables for small values of \(n\). This expands earlier works [Graphs Comb. 23, 259--267 (2007; Zbl 1120.05017); Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 4535, 68--78 (2008; Zbl 1162.68746)] and is a companion to [``Polyominoes and polyiamonds as fundamental domains for isohedral tilings of crystal class \(D_2\)'' Symmetry 3, No. 2, 325--364 (2011; \url{doi:10.3390/sym3020325})].
