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
Plane of rotation two points, one on each of the planes. A double rotation has two angles of rotation, one for each plane of rotation. The rotation is specified by giving the two planes and two non-zero angles, and (if either angle is zero the rotation is simple). Points in the first plane rotate through , while points in the second plane rotate through . All other points rotate through an angle between and , so in a sense they together determine the amount of rotation. For a general double rotation the planes of rotation and angles are unique, and given a general
