Tetraheptagonal tiling

From HandWiki

In geometry, the tetraheptagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of r{4,7}.

Symmetry


A half symmetry [1+,4,7] = [7,7] construction exists, which can be seen as two colors of heptagons. This coloring can be called a rhombiheptaheptagonal tiling.

The dual tiling is made of rhombic faces and has a face configuration V4.7.4.7.
