Wallpaper group pgg
Description
This is part of a set of 17 things representing all wallpaper groups, designed for learning about symmetry. "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. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and decorative art, especially in textiles and tiles as well as wallpaper." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group This thing includes tiles for creating patterns with the appropriate symmetry. The tiles have an embossed swirl pattern that is helpful for observing rotation, translation, reflections and glide planes. Straight edges indicate mirror symmetry. Files: pgg-cutout.stl - the asymmetric unit. pgg-cutout-swirl.stl - optional insert for the asymmetric unit. pgg-cutout-m.stl - mirror image asymmetric unit. pgg-cutout-swirl-m.stl - optional insert for the mirror image asymmetric unit. The figure shows the symmetry elements for this group. OpenSCAD files are available upon request. Wallpaper group pgg has four tiles per unit cell. The group pgg contains two rotation centres of order two (180°), and glide reflections in two perpendicular directions. The centres of rotation are not located on the glide reflection axes. There are no reflections. Orbifold signature: 22× Coxeter notation (rectangular): [((∞,2)+,(∞,2)+)] Coxeter notation (square): [4+,4+] Lattice: rectangular Point group: D2
