In these symmetry plans glide reflection vectors are not shown<br />

for the sake of simplicity, but you must indicate them in your work!<br />

6.3.1 Upgrading the glide reflection to reflection. Employing an<br />

old idea from 2.7.2 -- where we viewed a pma2 pattern as ‘half’ of a<br />

pmm2 pattern -- in the opposite direction, we are now ‘doubling’<br />

the three pg-like patterns in figures 6.4, 6.9, and 6.11 into pm-like<br />

patterns by ‘fattening’ the glide reflections into reflections; that<br />

is, we reflect the pattern across every glide reflection axis without<br />

gliding the image. This process is bound to produce six two-colored<br />

pm-like patterns having reflection in one direction: indeed as we<br />

reflect across the glide reflection axes we have the option of a<br />

color effect either opposite to or same as that of the glide<br />

reflection (see also 6.3.2 and 6.3.5), so we end up with three × two =<br />

six pm types. We illustrate the process in the following six figures,<br />

indicating in each case the ‘original’ pg-like pattern and providing<br />

the name for the ‘new’ pm-like pattern. Make sure you can<br />

rediscover the old pg-like pattern inside the richer structure of the<br />

new pattern; there is more than mere nostalgia in our call: the old<br />

glide reflection is alive and well, ‘hidden’ under the new reflection<br />

and ready to play an important role in the classification process!
