′ 1 is the one that has the only<br />

isometry common to all wallpaper patterns (color-preserving<br />

translation) and nothing else: this is the p1 type, familiar of<br />

the p2 and pg patterns in <strong>6.0</strong>.3, looks like a ‘genuine’ two-colored<br />

pattern, having black and grey in perfect balance with each other?<br />

Here is such an example:<br />

Fig. 6.8<br />

p1<br />

We leave it to you to compare this pattern to the p b<br />

′ 1 pattern of<br />

figure 6.1 and verify its p1 classification: notice in particular that<br />

there are no ‘underlying’ reflections or glide reflections; or, if you<br />

wish, they were dead before they were born, ruled out by structure<br />

and position rather than inconsistency with color.<br />

6.2 pg types (pg, p b<br />

′ 1g, pg′ )<br />

6.2.1 Those elusive glide reflections. While the pattern in figure<br />

6.2 clearly has vertical and horizontal color-preserving reflections<br />

and in-between color-reversing glide reflections, as well as 180 0
