  2. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A typical example of glide reflection in everyday life would be the track of footprints left in the sand by a person walking on a beach. Frieze group nr. 6 (glide-reflections, translations and rotations) is generated by a glide reflection and a rotation about a point on the line of reflection. It is isomorphic to a semi-direct product of Z and C 2.

  3. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    Glide reflection. Glide reflections, denoted by G c,v,w, where c is a point in the plane, v is a unit vector in R 2, and w is non-null a vector perpendicular to v are a combination of a reflection in the line described by c and v, followed by a translation along w. That is, ,, =,, or in other words,

  4. Frieze group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieze_group

    p2mm: TRHVG (translation, 180° rotation, horizontal line reflection, vertical line reflection, and glide reflection) Formally, a frieze group is a class of infinite discrete symmetry groups of patterns on a strip (infinitely wide rectangle), hence a class of groups of isometries of the plane, or of a strip.

  5. Euclidean group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_group

    reflection with respect to a plane, and a translation in that plane, a rotation about an axis perpendicular to the plane, or a reflection with respect to a perpendicular plane; glide reflection with respect to a plane, and a translation in that plane; inversion in a point and any isometry keeping the point fixed

  6. Wallpaper group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group

    In the 5 cases of reflection or glide reflection, but not both, the cell is a rectangle (rectangular lattice, itself pmm). It may also be interpreted as a centered rhombic lattice. Special cases: square. In the 2 cases of reflection combined with glide reflection, the cell is a rhombus (rhombic lattice, itself cmm). It may also be interpreted ...

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

  9. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

    The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group. The group has an identity: Rot(0). Every rotation Rot(φ) has an inverse Rot(−φ). Every reflection Ref(θ) is its own inverse. Composition has closure and is ...
