I would like to straighten out the top node and the bottom node so that they create a more tidy lattice. I found this post here, but I wasn't able to follow what was going on.

I just think that my subgroup diagram can be a bit...neater. For example, here is what my book's diagram looks like. How do I get my diagram to look more like the book diagram?

Be careful with such positioning options!

usepackage{amssymb}

usetikzlibrary{positioning}

begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={inner sep=1pt},node distance=1.5cm]

node(A1)  {$langle 12 rangle$};

node(A2) [below left of= A1] {$langle 6 rangle$};

node(A3) [below right of=A1] {$langle 4 rangle$};

node(A4) [below left of=A2] {$langle 3 rangle$};

node(A5) [below left of=A3] {$langle 2 rangle$};

node(A6) [below right of=A4] {$langle 1 rangle$};

node[right=0pt of A1,inner xsep=0pt] {$= mathbb{Z}_{12}$};

draw(A1) -- (A2);

draw(A1) -- (A3);

draw(A2) -- (A4);

draw(A2) -- (A5);

draw(A3) -- (A5);

draw(A4) -- (A6);

draw(A5) -- (A6);

I love positioning but may not necessarily use it when things should be on a grid.
