SMALL RHOMBITRIHEXAGONAL TILING


In geometry, the 'Small rhombitrihexagonal tiling' (or just '' rhombitrihexagonal tiling'') is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are one triangle, two squares, and one hexagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of ''t0,2{3,6}''.
There are 3 regular and 8 semiregular tilings in the plane.
This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of cantellated polyhedra with vertex figure (3.4.n.4), and continues as tilings of the hyperbolic plane.

There is only one uniform colorings in a small rhombitrihexagonal tiling. (Naming the colors by indices around a vertex (3.4.6.4): 1232.)
