A tripartite graph has a set partition of its vertices into three classes, with every edge joining different classes. Each pair of classes induces a bipartite graph, and every triangle in a graph uses one vertex from each class.
For , use three disjoint labelled vertex classes , , . Each inserts the three edges , producing pairwise edge-disjoint triangles. Every triangle in a graph with labels corresponds to the three points of . It is canonical when ; otherwise it gives a corner in an integer grid with nonzero displacement .
