The great rhombitetrahexagonal tiling or grotehat, also called the truncated tetrahexagonal tiling or omnitruncated tetrahexagonal tiling, is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. 1 square, 1 octagon and 1 dodecagon join at each vertex. It can be formed by cantitruncation of either the order-4 hexagonal tiling or its dual order-6 square tiling, or equivalently by truncation of the tetrahexagonal tiling.
