Point groups in three dimensions the finite subgroups of SO(3), are: the cyclic groups "C" (the rotation group of a canonical pyramid), the dihedral groups "D" (the rotation group of a uniform prism, or canonical bipyramid), and the rotation groups "T", "O" and "I" of a regular tetrahedron, octahedron/cube and icosahedron/dodecahedron. In particular, the dihedral groups "D", "D" etc. are the rotation groups of plane regular polygons embedded in three-dimensional space, and such a figure may be considered as a degenerate regular prism. Therefore, it is also called a "dihedron" (Greek: solid with two faces), which explains the name "dihedral group". The rotation group of
Two-dimensional space no edges cross each other. Such a drawing is called a "plane graph" or "planar embedding of the graph". A plane graph can be defined as a planar graph with a mapping from every node to a point on a plane, and from every edge to a plane curve on that plane, such that the extreme points of each curve are the points mapped from its end nodes, and all curves are disjoint except on their extreme points. Two-dimensional space Two-dimensional space (also known as bi-dimensional space) is a geometric setting in which two values (called parameters) are required to
