Carbon_nanotube_from_graphene.png(240 × 225 pixels, file size: 48 KB, MIME type: image/png)

Graphical depiction of how carbon nanotubes are equivalent to rolled-up graphene. In each of the colours, the solid line (overlapped by the dotted line for yellow) depicts a cross-section of the nanotube. The two dotted line indicates how the characteristic vector (n, m) of the nanotube is calculated. The tesselation wraps around so that the hexagon centred on O takes the place of the hexagons centred on A to D, respectively. The angle theta indicates how strongly the nanotube spirals, but not whether it is left-handed or right-handed (if chiral) nor how thick it is.
