Wallpaper Groups

Symmetry group 9 (cmm)

This group has perpendicular reflection axes, as does group 6 (pmm), and has half-turns, that is, rotations of order 2. Some of the centers of the the half-turns lie on the intersections of the axes of reflection, but others lie on the intersections of the axes of the glide reflections. The lattice is rhomic, and a quarter of a fundamental region for the translation group is a fundamental region for the symmetry group.
