Triheptagonal tiling
In geometry, the triheptagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane, representing a rectified Order-3 heptagonal tiling. There are two triangles and two heptagons alternating on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of r{7,3}.
Compare to trihexagonal tiling with vertex configuration 3.6.3.6.
Related polyhedra and tilings
The triheptagonal tiling can be seen in a sequence of quasiregular polyhedrons and tilings:
From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular heptagonal tiling.
Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms.
