A6 polytope

Orthographic projections
A₆ Coxeter plane
6-simplex

In 6-dimensional geometry, there are 35 uniform polytopes with A₆ symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 6-simplex with 7 vertices.

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the A₆ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 35 polytopes can be made in the A₆, A₅, A₄, A₃, A₂ Coxeter planes. A_k graphs have [k+1] symmetry. For even k and symmetric ringed diagrams, symmetry doubles to [2(k+1)].

These 63 polytopes are each shown in these 5 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
