Infinite-order hexagonal tiling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Infinite-order hexagonal tiling

In 2-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the infinite-order hexagonal tiling is a regular tiling. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,∞}. All vertices are ideal, located at "infinity", seen on the boundary of the Poincaré hyperbolic disk projection.
