| | Hyperbolic Planar Tesselations |
 | | The Omnitruncated {3,7} is the "most nearly planar" of all semiregular or regular hyperbolic tesselations, in the sense that if you tried to construct it from Euclidean planar polygons, the sum of the angles at each vertex would be as small as possible while exceeding 360 degrees. |
 | | We'll consider spherical, planar, and hyperbolic tilings all at once, using "Schwarz polygons" (a generalization of Schwarz triangles) to generate the symmetry groups, and using a generalized Coxeter-Dynkin symbol to name the resulting tesselations. |
 | | We can color each vertex of the uniform tiling (or Schwarz polygon of the dual) "even" or "odd" depending on whether it is generated as an even or odd number of reflections of a fixed initial vertex (or Schwarz polygon of the dual, respectively), i.e. |
