A Combinatorial Configuration

From "Self-Dual Configurations and Regular Graphs" by H. S. M. Coxeter, 
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
, Vol. 56 (1950), pp. 413-455

For a related combinatorial configuration, take Oxbury's  "16 lines"
to be the the 16 dots above  and take the "8 points of intersection"
to be the four squares

234, 1234, 124, 24

23, 123, 12, 2

3, 13, 1, 0

34, 134, 14, 4

along with the four diamonds

234, 23, 3, 34

1234, 123, 13, 134

124, 12, 1, 14

24, 2, 0, 4.

Then each "line" is on two "points" and each "point" on
four "lines."

Note that these eight "points" — the four squares and the four diamonds
of Coxeter's figure — form the rows and columns of the following matrix:

 234  1234  124  24
 23   123   12   2 
 3    13   1    0  
 34   134  14   4
