I have some code for a planar version on Fall 2020 Final Exam. Here is some code for a truncated tetrahedron from Matt Macauley.

And more from my grad notes.

I included some Cayley diagrams for A_4, but it might be nice to include a 3-D version of one. The code above will need to be tweaked in order to match the existing Cayley diagrams in book.
