The connection between contextuality and graph theory has paved the way for numerous advancements in the field. One notable development is the realization that sets of probability distributions in many contextuality scenarios can be effectively described using well-established convex sets from graph theory. This geometric approach allows for a beautiful characterization of these sets. The application of geometry is not limited to the description of contextuality sets alone; it also plays a crucial role in defining contextuality quantifiers based on geometric distances. These quantifiers are particularly significant in the context of the resource theory of contextuality, which emerged following the recognition of contextuality as a valuable resource for quantum computation. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the geometric aspects of contextuality. Additionally, we use this geometry to define several quantifiers, offering the advantage of applicability to other approaches to contextuality where previously defined quantifiers may not be suitable.This article is part of the theme issue 'Quantum contextuality, causality and freedom of choice'.
