= Rigidity matroid
{wiki=Rigidity_matroid}
A **rigidity matroid** is a concept from matroid theory, specifically in the study of frameworks in geometry. It arises in the context of studying the configurations of points and the rigidity of structures that can be formed by those points. In informal terms, a rigidity matroid captures the idea of whether a framework (like a structure made of points connected by bars) can be deformed without changing the distances between points.
