How to draw a hexagon (Q1297439): Difference between revisions

In recent years, \textit{Burkhard Polster} championed the idea of producing ``nice'' pictures representing finite geometries in the Euclidean plane [cf. his beautiful `A geometrical picture book' published by Springer (New York) in (1998; Zbl 0914.51001)]. In the same spirit, the present paper presents nice pictures for the two generalized hexagons with parameters 2 (which are dual to each other and related to the Chevalley group \(G_2(2))\). The key idea which makes it possible to produce a pleasing representation is the use of an automorphism of order 7.
