A generalized octagon GO(n,k) is a generalized polygon of order 8.

GO(1,2) is the (3,8)-cage graph, the incidence graph of the Cremona-Richmond configuration, the cubic vertex-transitive graph Ct63, the cubic symmetric graph F_(030)A, and is also sometimes known as the Tutte 8-cage.

GO(2,1) is the line graph of the Tutte 8-cage.

The following table summarizes some generalized octagons.
