Summary: By an antitriangular map we understand a continuous map from \(I^2=[0,1]^2\) into itself with the form \(F(x,y)=(g(y),f(x))\). If \(f,g:I\to I\) are continuous piecewise monotone maps such that \(g\circ f\) and \(f \circ g\) have type \(2^\infty\), then we prove that \(F\) is not chaotic in the sense of Li-Yorke if and only if UR\((F)=\text{UR}(g\circ f)\times\text{UR}(f\circ g)\), where UR\(( \cdot)\) denotes the set of uniformly recurrent points. Moreover, we show that in the general case of nonchaotic antitriangular maps \(F\) (with coordinates not necessarily piecewise monotonic) we have \(\omega(F)=C(F)=\omega(g\circ f)\times \omega(f\circ g)\), and hence \(\omega(F)\) is a closed set \((\omega (\cdot)\) and \(C(\cdot)\) denote the sets of limit points and the centre of a continuous map, respectively).
