Detail Description: The vertices are projected into the 2D Coxeter plane using projection vectors of x=(-sqrt(3)+1,0,1,1,0,0,0,0),y=(0,sqrt(3)-1,-1,1,0,0,0,0). The vertex colors are based on overlaps - the 2 (green) rings of 12 have 2 overlaping vertices. The 800 edges are color-coded based on projected vertex positions.
