The trioctagonal tiling or toct is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. 2 octagons and 2 triangles join at each vertex. It can be formed from the rectification of either the octagonal tiling or its dual order-8 triangular tiling.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A trioctagonal tiling has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • o8x3o () (full symmetry)
  • o3x4x3*a () (half symmetry)
