Octagonal tiling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see truncated square tiling.
In geometry, the octagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of {8,3}, having three regular octagons around each vertex. It also has a construction as a truncated order-8 square tiling, t{4,8}.
