The petrial triangular tiling is one of three regular skew tilings of the Euclidean plane. Six zigzags meet at a vertex and it is the Petrie dual of the triangular tiling.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertex coordinates of a petrial triangular tiling with edge length one are the same as the triangular tiling, being

  • ,

where i and j range over the integers.

The rectification of the petrial triangular tiling is the hexagonal-hemiapeirogonal tiling, which is a uniform tiling.
