The 17 Wallpaper Groups

Wallpaper Groups - NeonMob
I've created a new series for NeonMob on the 17 Wallpaper groups.
It can be shown mathematically that there are exactly 17 ways to tesilate a flat surface, each group has a distinct make up of reflections, glide reflections and rotations
Above is the group p6m, it can be rotated 6 times about the centre of the flower, 3 times about the triangular shape, and twice about the holly leaf. It can also be reflected through three axesthrough the centre of the flower.
The cards in the series show the pattern, the rotations and the reflections, above are the rotations of p4.
p6 is like p6m, in that it has three centres of rotations of order 6,3,2 but it has no reflections.
These are the three p3m1 cards, showing reflections, rotations and the pattern alone.
You can collect these (and get bonus free packs) at https://www.neonmob.com/redeem/TOM851
