Does anyone have a view of this tiling in the [[Poincaré disk model]]? I think this would illustrate better the fact that the tiles are not polygons. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TheKing44|TheKing44]] ([[User talk:TheKing44#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheKing44|contribs]]) 21:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)</small>
:There's one in the Penrose article, but we can't just copy it directly and I don't think it does what you want it to do. (The horocycle edges are drawn as circular arcs, just as straight lines in the disk model would be, but that's not different from what we have now where the horocycles are horizontal lines. Anyone who knows enough about the hyperbolic plane to know that the circular arcs of the disk model are the wrong direction to be straight lines would also know that the horizontal lines in the halfplane model are the wrong direction to be straight lines.) —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 22:32, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
