Details

The unit-rod polyhedron shows a rod between all vertex pairs a unit distance apart.

The unit-star picture builds polygons from half-unit rods meeting at a vertex.

The unit-length graph shows how vertices a unit distance apart are connected.

The planar vertex map puts the vertices on a sphere, then unrolls the sphere into a planar form.

In the supported triangles image, all vertices of a blue triangle (with brown number) are at distance 1 from an opposing vertex with a matching green number.

The Initialization section contains various programs that may be able to improve some of the solutions.
