• Glide reflection — In geometry, a glide reflection is a type of isometry of the Euclidean plane: the combination of a reflection in a line and a translation along that line. Reversing the order of combining gives the same result. Depending on context, we may… …   Wikipedia

• Glide plane — In crystallography, a glide plane is symmetry operation describing how a reflection in a plane, followed by a translation parallel with that plane, may leave the crystal unchanged. Glide planes are noted by a , b or c , depending on which axis… …   Wikipedia
