A harmonic lattice diagram (lattice) is an instrument to visualize relations of tones. It's a projection of a multi-dimensional structure onto a 2D screen.

The Tonnetz is the lattice that represents 12edo's mapping of 5-limit intervals. Vogel's Tonnetz is a 7-limit version of Euler's 5-limit Tonnetz.
Examples
A square lattice representing marvel temperament.
A hexagonal lattice representing 41edo's mapping of 5-limit intervals, using ups and downs notation.
A hexagonal lattice representing a subset of 7-limit intervals, using color notation.
