correction: Xah's graphs under rotation

Oops, forgot that rotation could produce permutations that were already dropped.
this cures it:

In[34]:=
rotate[lis_,n_]:=Module[{it=cycle[lis,n],temp},temp=RotateLeft[it, Position[
it,Min[it]][[1,1]]-1];If[temp[[2]]<Last at temp,temp,RotateRight[Reverse[temp]]]]

for beauty's sake, also set the loop over j to Length[First[it]] instead of 6 :

In[42]:=
pointers=Union[Union[#]&/@(
DeleteCases[Table[ Position[it,rotate[it[[i]],j]],{i,1,Length at it},{j,Length[
First[it]]}],{},{2}]/.{{a_Integer}}->a)]

Looks real nice now.
