In geometry, the rhombihexaoctagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of rr{8,6}.
Symmetry The dual tiling, called a deltoidal hexaoctagonal tiling represent the fundamental domains of *4232 symmetry, a half symmetry of [8,6], (*862) as [8,1+,6].
Related polyhedra and tilings
From a Wythoff construction there are fourteen hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular order-6 octagonal tiling.
Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 7 forms with full [8,6] symmetry, and 7 with subsymmetry.
