This monochromatic image is not faithful to the original image. This is a diagram of an incidence structure and not an object in the Euclidean plane. The circular arcs are just a convenience and are not intrinsic to the diagram, so having them centered on points is just a meaningless frill. The diagonal lines were drawn as not meeting at the center of the figure to emphasize the fact that there is no point there, this is now obscured. The color coding was put in place to help in a future discussion of the automorphism group of the structure, so it did have meaning and should not have been removed. --Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 17:27, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
