Rhombitetrahexagonal tiling

In geometry, the rhombitetrahexagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of rr{6,4}. It can be seen as constructed as a rectified tetrahexagonal tiling, r{6,4}, as well as an expanded order-4 hexagonal tiling or expanded order-6 square tiling. There are two uniform constructions of this tiling, one from [6,4] or (642) symmetry, and secondly removing the mirror middle, [6,1+,4], gives a rectangular fundamental domain [∞,3,∞], (3222). There are 3 lower symmetry forms seen by including edge-colorings: sees the hexagons as truncated triangles, with two color edges, with [6,4+] (43) symmetry. sees the yellow squares as rectangles, with two color edges, with [6+,4] (62) symmetry. A final quarter symmetry combines these colorings, with [6+,4+] (32×) symmetry, with 2 and 3 fold gyration points and glide reflections. This four color tiling is related to a semiregular infinite skew polyhedron with the same vertex figure in Euclidean 3-space with a prismatic honeycomb construction of . The dual tiling, called a deltoidal tetrahexagonal tiling, represents the fundamental domains of the *3222 orbifold, shown here from three different centers. Its fundamental domain is a Lambert quadrilateral, with 3 right angles. This symmetry can be seen from a [6,4], (*642) triangular symmetry with one mirror removed, constructed as [6,1+,4], (*3222). Removing half of the blue mirrors doubles the domain again into *3322 symmetry.
