The connected Dynkin diagrams of finite reduced crystallographic root systems are Ar​, Br​, Cr​, Dr​, E6​, E7​, E8​, F4​ and G2​. Bonds encode products of off-diagonal Cartan integers; multiple-bond arrows point toward shorter roots. The simply laced branching diagrams have arm lengths (1,1,r−3) for Dr​ and (1,2,2), (1,2,3), (1,2,4) for the three exceptional E types. The B and C chains have an end double bond, F4​ a middle double bond, and G2​ a triple bond. This edge weighting is distinct from the vertex labels used to classify nilpotent orbits.
