Abstract
Hyperbolic tessellations have been typically projected into discs or other simple shapes. In this paper, we study the problem of projecting hyperbolic tessellations to arbitrary shapes, given by a source bitmap image. We present an algorithm for finding such conformal mappings and provide discussion of the exemplar results. The previous approaches are vulnerable to numerical precision issues or computationally expensive; our proposition deals with long and narrow shapes efficiently.
