The Laman number of a Laman graph 
is the number of realizations of 
in 
compatible with a general edge labeling, counted up to direct complex isometry (Capco
et al. 2018).
Equivalently, the Laman number of 
is the degree of the algebraic map 
obtained from the squared-distance equations for 
after quotienting translations and direct rotations.
The minimal Laman number among all Laman graphs on 
, 7, ..., 12 vertices is 
(Capco et al. 2018). Extremal graphs attaining
the largest Laman number for a fixed number of vertices are called maximally
Laman graphs.
