Description A [4,6] Hyperbolic Tiling created with the Fractal Science Kit fractal generator. See [link] 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.

That is really clever...I love how you have that metallic texture ring around. Superb fractal!!

Thanks! I agree, the border circle makes the hyperbolic tiling more interesting by contrasting the tiling with a simple shape like a circle
