Pappus configuration
Builds on ConfigurationPappus's hexagon theorem
Example
The Pappus configuration is a configuration in the projective plane. Take distinct points on a line and distinct points on another line , none of them on both lines. Let , and . By Pappus's hexagon theorem, , , lie on a line, the Pappus line.
Its points are . Its lines are , , the six lines , , , , , and the Pappus line. Check: each line has of the points, for instance contains , , and contains , , . Each point lies on lines. For instance, lies on , , , the point on , , , and on , and the Pappus line. Its incidence graph is the Pappus graph.
