==== The conformal square model ==== [[File:Omnitruncated tiling on conformal square.png|thumb|Conformal square model with [[truncated triheptagonal tiling]]]] The conformal square model of the hyperbolic plane arises from using [[Schwarz–Christoffel mapping]] to convert the [[Poincaré disk model|Poincaré disk]] into a square.<ref>{{cite conference|url=http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2016/bridges2016-179.pdf|title=The Conformal Hyperbolic Square and Its Ilk |last=Fong| first = C.|year=2016 |conference=Bridges Finland Conference Proceedings}}</ref> This model has finite extent, like the Poincaré disk. However, all of the points are inside a square. This model is conformal, which makes it suitable for artistic applications.
