Truncated order-4 hexagonal tiling

In geometry, the truncated order-4 hexagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of t{6,4}. A secondary construction tr{6,6} is called a truncated hexahexagonal tiling with two colors of dodecagons. There are two uniform constructions of this tiling, first from [6,4] kaleidoscope, and a lower symmetry by removing the last mirror, [6,4,1+], gives [6,6], (*662). The dual of the tiling represents the fundamental domains of (662) orbifold symmetry. From [6,6] (662) symmetry, there are 15 small index subgroup (12 unique) by mirror removal and alternation operators. Mirrors can be removed if its branch orders are all even, and cuts neighboring branch orders in half. Removing two mirrors leaves a half-order gyration point where the removed mirrors met. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors. The subgroup index-8 group, [1+,6,1+,6,1+] (3333) is the commutator subgroup of [6,6]. Larger subgroup constructed as [6,6], removing the gyration points of (63), index 12 becomes (*333333). The symmetry can be doubled to 642 symmetry by adding a mirror to bisect the fundamental domain.
