Title: The Saltire Post by: Ross Hilbert on April 16, 2013, 05:52:58 PM The Saltire (http://nocache-nocookies.digitalgott.com/gallery/13/385_16_04_13_5_52_58.jpeg) http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=13859 A [4,6] Hyperbolic Tiling created with the Fractal Science Kit fractal generator. See http://www.fractalsciencekit.com for details. A Hyperbolic Tiling replicates a polygon over the hyperbolic plane represented by the Poincare disk in such a way as to form a hyperbolic tiling pattern. The Poincare disk is a model for hyperbolic geometry that maps the hyperbolic plane onto the unit disk. A [p,q] regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane maps a hyperbolic polygon with p sides over the hyperbolic plane such that q polygons meet at each polygon vertex. |
