Array read by antidiagonals: T(m,n) (m>=1, n>=1) = number of simple interior vertices in figure formed by taking m equally spaced points on a line and n equally spaced points on a parallel line, and joining each of the m points to each of the n points by a line segment.

COMMENTS
A simple interior vertex is a vertex where exactly two lines cross. In graph theory terms, this is an interior vertex of degree 4.
The case m=n (the main diagonal) is dealt with in A334701. A306302 has illustrations for the diagonal case for m = 1 to 15.
Also A335678 has colored illustrations for many values of m and n.
This is the only one of the five arrays (A335678-A335682) that does not have an explicit formula.
Let G_m(x) = g.f. for row m. For m <= 9, G_m appears to be a rational function of x with denominator D_m(x), where (writing C_k for the k-th cyclotomic polynomial):
D_3 = D_4 = C_1^3*C_2
D_5 = C_1^3*C_2*C_4
D_6 = C_1^3*C_2*C_4*C_5
D_7 = C_1^3*C_2*C_3*C_4*C_5*C_6
D_8 = D_9 = C_1^3*C_2*C_3*C_4*C_5*C_6*C_7
