†
The symbols represent orthographic projections. In the cubic space-group diagrams, complete orthographic projections of the symmetry elements around high-symmetry points, such as ; ; , are given as `inserts'.
‡For further explanations of the `double' glide plane e see Note (iv) below and Note (x) in Section 1.3.2 . §In the space groups (216), (225) and (227), the shortest lattice translation vectors in the glide directions are or and or , respectively. ¶The glide vector is half of a centring vector, i.e. one quarter of the diagonal of the conventional body-centred cell in space groups (220) and (230). ††Glide planes d occur only in orthorhombic F space groups, in tetragonal I space groups, and in cubic I and F space groups. They always occur in pairs with alternating glide vectors, for instance and . The second power of a glide reflection d is a centring vector. |
