Hexagon has no degrees of freedom but can seen as directed edges. Hexagons of symmetry g2, i4, and r12, as parallelogons can tessellate the Euclidean plane by translation. Other hexagon shapes can tile the plane with different orientations. The 6 roots of the simple Lie group , represented by a Dynkin diagram , are in a regular hexagonal pattern. The two simple roots have a 120° angle between them. The 12 roots of the Exceptional Lie group G2, represented by a Dynkin diagram are also in a hexagonal pattern. The two simple roots of two lengths have a 150° angle between
Moser spindle graph" has also been applied to a different graph, in the form of a triangle inscribed within a hexagon. As a unit distance graph, the Moser spindle is formed by two rhombi with 60 and 120 degree angles, so that the sides and short diagonals of the rhombi form equilateral triangles. The two rhombi are placed in the plane, sharing one of their acute-angled vertices, in such a way that the remaining two acute-angled vertices are a unit distance apart from each other. The eleven edges of the graph are the eight rhombus sides, the two short diagonals of the
