The pattern of symmetry *×
The drawing illustrates the symmetry of a pattern of type *×, by putting in evidence the parallelogram of the translations, the axes of reflection (the double lines), the axes of glide reflection (the sketched lines); there are no centres of rotation. Here we can see an example of pattern characterized by this scheme and this module.
