In geometry, the tetraheptagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of r{4,7}.
Symmetry[edit]
 A half symmetry [1+,4,7] = [7,7] construction exists, which can be seen as two colors of heptagons. This coloring can be called a rhombiheptaheptagonal tiling. |
 The dual tiling is made of rhombic faces and has a face configuration V4.7.4.7. |
