In geometry, the trioctagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane, representing a rectified Order-3 octagonal tiling. There are two triangles and two octagons alternating on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of r{8,3}.

Symmetry edit

 
The half symmetry [1+,8,3] = [(4,3,3)] can be shown with alternating two colors of triangles, by Coxeter diagram     .

Related polyhedra and tilings edit

From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular octagonal tiling.

Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms.
