  2. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A glide reflection is the composition of a reflection across a line and a translation parallel to the line. This footprint trail has glide-reflection symmetry. Applying the glide reflection maps each left footprint into a right footprint and vice versa.

  3. Point groups in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_two_dimensions

    For each of the types D 1, D 2, and D 4 the distinction between the 3, 4, and 2 wallpaper groups, respectively, is determined by the translation vector associated with each reflection in the group: since isometries are in the same coset regardless of translational components, a reflection and a glide reflection with the same mirror are in the ...

  4. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    This is a glide reflection, except in the special case that the translation is perpendicular to the line of reflection, in which case the combination is itself just a reflection in a parallel line. The identity isometry, defined by I(p) = p for all points p is a special case of a translation, and also a special case of a rotation. It is the ...

  5. 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]

  6. Motion (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A glide reflection is a type of Euclidean motion.. In geometry, a motion is an isometry of a metric space.For instance, a plane equipped with the Euclidean distance metric is a metric space in which a mapping associating congruent figures is a motion. [1]

  7. 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.

  8. Wallpaper group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group

    Reflection in a line and glide reflection are preserved on expansion/contraction along, or perpendicular to, the axis of reflection and glide reflection. It changes p 6 m , p 4 g , and p 3 m 1 into cmm , p 3 m 1 into cm , and p 4 m , depending on direction of expansion/contraction, into pmm or cmm .

  9. Self-evaluation maintenance theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evaluation...

    For example, a sibling scores the winning goal in an important game. Self-evaluation will increase because that person is sharing his/her success. The closer the psychological relationship and the greater the success, the more a person will share in the success. [1] This is considered the reflection process. When closeness and performance are ...
