The truncated icosidodecahedron can also be represented as a spherical tiling, and projected onto the plane via a stereographic projection.
This projection is conformal, preserving angles but not areas or lengths.
Straight lines on the sphere are projected as circular arcs on the plane.

Schlegel diagrams are similar, with a perspective projection and straight edges.
