In geometry, the rhombitetraoctagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of rr{8,4}. It can be seen as constructed as a rectified tetraoctagonal tiling, r{8,4}, as well as an expanded order-4 octagonal tiling or expanded order-8 square tiling.
Constructions
[edit]There are two uniform constructions of this tiling, one from [8,4] or (*842) symmetry, and secondly removing the mirror middle, [8,1+,4], gives a rectangular fundamental domain [∞,4,∞], (*4222).

Symmetry
[edit]A lower symmetry construction exists, with (*4222) orbifold symmetry. This symmetry can be seen in the dual tiling, called a deltoidal tetraoctagonal tiling, alternately colored here. Its fundamental domain is a Lambert quadrilateral, with 3 right angles.

The dual tiling, called a deltoidal tetraoctagonal tiling, represents the fundamental domains of the *4222 orbifold. |
With edge-colorings there is a half symmetry form (4*4) orbifold notation. The octagons can be considered as truncated squares, t{4} with two types of edges. It has Coxeter diagram , Schläfli symbol s2{4,8}. The squares can be distorted into isosceles trapezoids. In the limit, where the rectangles degenerate into edges, an order-8 square tiling results, constructed as a snub tetraoctagonal tiling,
