The vertex figure can be discovered by considering the Wythoff symbol:
- p|q r - 2p edges, alternating q-gons and r-gons. Vertex figure (q.r)p.
- p|q 2 - p edges, q-gons (here r=2 so the r-gons are degenerate lines).
- 2|q r - 4 edges, alternating q-gons and r-gons
- q r|p - 4 edges, 2p-gons, q-gons, 2p-gons r-gons, Vertex figure 2p.q.2p.r.
- q 2|p - 3 edges, 2p-gons, q-gons, 2p-gons, Vertex figure 2p.q.2p.
- p q r|- 3 edges, 2p-gons, 2q-gons, 2r-gons, vertex figure 2p.2q.2r
