glide reflection along L 2<br />

reverses colors as it maps B to C but<br />

preserves colors as it maps A to D. (An important lesson drawn out<br />

of this example that you should keep in mind throughout this chapter<br />

is this: whenever you check a reflection or glide reflection axis for<br />

consistency with color, make sure that you look both at motifs on or<br />

‘near’ that axis and at motifs ‘far’ from that axis -- “far” and<br />

“near” depending on the fundamental (repeated) region’s size.)<br />

<strong>6.0</strong>.2 The smallest rotation angle. As in the case of one-colored<br />

wallpaper patterns (chapter 4), the most important step in<br />

classifying two-colored wallpaper patterns is the determination of<br />

the pattern’s smallest rotation angle; again, coloring may eliminate<br />

certain rotations by rendering them inconsistent with color, and it<br />

is appropriate to state here that coloring may only preserve or<br />

increase the smallest rotation angle. As an example, the<br />

following two colorings (figures 6.2 & 6.3) of the p4g pattern in<br />

figure 4.57 do increase the smallest rotation angle consistent<br />

with color from 90 0 to 180 0 (color-reversing) and 360 0 (none),<br />

respectively; and this change most definitely affects our visual<br />

perceptions of these ‘new’ wallpaper patterns:<br />
