In [[geometry]], the '''order-8 triangular tiling''' is a [[regular hyperbolic tiling|regular tiling]] of the [[Hyperbolic geometry|hyperbolic plane]]. It is represented by [[Schläfli symbol]] of ''{3,8}'', having eight regular [[triangle]]s around each vertex.

The half symmetry [1⁺,8,3] = [(4,3,3)] can be shown with alternating two colors of triangles:

== Symmetry==

From [(4,4,4)] symmetry, there are 15 small index subgroups (7 unique) by mirror removal and alternation operators. Mirrors can be removed if its branch orders are all even, and cuts neighboring branch orders in half. Removing two mirrors leaves a half-order gyration point where the removed mirrors met. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors. The symmetry can be doubled to [[842 symmetry]] by adding a bisecting mirror across the fundamental domains. Adding 3 bisecting mirrors across each fundamental domains creates [[832 symmetry]]. The [[subgroup index]]-8 group, [(1⁺,4,1⁺,4,1⁺,4)] (222222) is the [[commutator subgroup]] of [(4,4,4)].

From [(4,4,4)] symmetry, there are 15 small index subgroups (7 unique) by mirror removal and alternation operators. Mirrors can be removed if its branch orders are all even, and cuts neighboring branch orders in half. Removing two mirrors leaves a half-order gyration point where the removed mirrors met. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors. The symmetry can be doubled to [[842 symmetry]] by adding a bisecting mirror across the fundamental domains. Adding 3 bisecting mirrors across each fundamental domains creates [[832 symmetry]]. The [[subgroup index]]-8 group, [(1⁺,4,1⁺,4,1⁺,4)] (222222) is the [[commutator subgroup]] of [(4,4,4)].

A larger subgroup is constructed [(4,4,4^*)], index 8, as (2*2222) with gyration points removed, becomes (*22222222).

The symmetry can be doubled to [[842 symmetry]] by adding a bisecting mirror across the fundamental domains. The symmetry can be extended by 6, as [[832 symmetry]], by 3 bisecting mirrors per ___domain.

{{Triangular regular tiling}}

From a [[Wythoff construction]] there are ten hyperbolic [[Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane|uniform tilings]] that can be based from the regular octagonal and order-8 triangular tilings.

Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 10 forms.
