In geometry, the infinite-order apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,∞}, which means it has an infinite number of apeirogons around all its ideal vertices.

Symmetry

This tiling represents the fundamental domains of *∞ symmetry.

Uniform colorings

This tiling can also be alternately colored in the [(∞,∞,∞)] symmetry from 3 generator positions.

The union of this tiling and its dual can be seen as orthogonal red and blue lines here, and combined define the lines of a *2∞2∞ fundamental domain.
