  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. 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 ...

  5. 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]

  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 ...

  7. 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]

  8. Mobile catering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_catering

    The service is similar; the truck carries a stock of prepared foods that customers can buy. Ice cream vans are a familiar example of a catering truck in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. A food truck or mobile kitchen is a modified van with a built-in barbecue grill, deep fryer, or other cooking equipment. It offers more ...

  9. Roaming Hunger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaming_Hunger

    Website users may “love” and review a truck, find the top trucks in their area, set an alert to notify them when a favorite truck is serving in their area, and read articles on the Roaming Hunger blog about vendors, food truck events, and food recipes. They may also suggest new trucks to the site, and submit catering requests.
