In geometry, the truncated order-8 triangular tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There are two hexagons and one octagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of t{3,8}.
Uniform colors edit
 The half symmetry [1+,8,3] = [(4,3,3)] can be shown with alternating two colors of hexagons |
 Dual tiling |
Symmetry edit
The dual of this tiling represents the fundamental domains of *443 symmetry. It only has one subgroup 443, replacing mirrors with gyration points.
This symmetry can be doubled to 832 symmetry by adding a bisecting mirror to the fundamental domain.
