E₇ polytope

Orthographic projections in the E₇ Coxeter plane
3₂₁	2₃₁	1₃₂

In 7-dimensional geometry, there are 127 uniform polytopes with E₇ symmetry. The three simplest forms are the 3₂₁, 2₃₁, and 1₃₂ polytopes, composed of 56, 126, and 576 vertices respectively.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the E₇ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs[edit]

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 127 polytopes can be made in the E₇, E₆, D₆, D₅, D₄, D₃, A₆, A₅, A₄, A₃, A₂ Coxeter planes. A_k has k+1 symmetry, D_k has 2(k-1) symmetry, and E₆ and E₇ have 12, 18 symmetry respectively.

For 10 of 127 polytopes (7 single rings, and 3 truncations), they are shown in these 9 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
