  2. Point groups in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_two_dimensions

    The 2D symmetry groups correspond to the isometry groups, except that symmetry according to O(2) and SO(2) can only be distinguished in the generalized symmetry concept applicable for vector fields. Also, depending on application, homogeneity up to arbitrarily fine detail in transverse direction may be considered equivalent to full homogeneity ...

  3. List of planar symmetry groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_planar_symmetry_groups

    The symmetry groups are named here by three naming schemes: International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation. There are three kinds of symmetry groups of the plane: 2 families of rosette groups – 2D point groups; 7 frieze groups – 2D line groups; 17 wallpaper groups – 2D space groups.

  4. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(geometry)

    A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other.. In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform). [1]

  5. Wallpaper group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group

    Example of an Egyptian design with wallpaper group p4m. A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern.

  6. Symmetry group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_group

    Symmetry groups of Euclidean objects may be completely classified as the subgroups of the Euclidean group E(n) (the isometry group of R n). Two geometric figures have the same symmetry type when their symmetry groups are conjugate subgroups of the Euclidean group: that is, when the subgroups H 1, H 2 are related by H 1 = g −1 H 2 g for some g ...

  7. Point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_group

    The Bauhinia blakeana flower on the Hong Kong region flag has C 5 symmetry; the star on each petal has D 5 symmetry. The Yin and Yang symbol has C 2 symmetry of geometry with inverted colors In geometry , a point group is a mathematical group of symmetry operations ( isometries in a Euclidean space ) that have a fixed point in common.

  8. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

    In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry

    Honeycomb point set as a hexagonal lattice with a two-atom basis. The gray rhombus is a primitive cell. Vectors and are primitive translation vectors.. The honeycomb point set is a special case of the hexagonal lattice with a two-atom basis. [1]
