Desarguesian plane

Encyclopedia : D : DE : DES : Desarguesian plane

In finite geometry a Desarguesian plane is a plane in which Desargues' theorem holds. The ordinary Euclidean plane (where points correspond to ordered pairs of real numbers) is of course a Desarguesian plane. But there are examples of finite geometries where the theorem does not hold.
