This data is interesting for what it implies about the origins of large
triangles, the prime tiles for tiling the plane according to Rule 110. One
thing is that when the triangle is big enough, it has a fringe of T1's, T2's
and T3's on top. Empirically, large triangles seem to occur - T12's can be
seen without trying hard - but the clusters of triangles appearing in
the gliders which have been so far reported never seem to be very big.
