Wallpaper Groups

Symmetry group 15 (p3m1)

This group is similar to the last in that it contains reflections and order-3 rotations. The axes of the reflections are again inclined at 60° to one another, but for this group all of the centers of rotation lie on the reflection axes. The lattice is hexagonal. Again, a fundamental region for the symmetry group is one-sixth of an equilateral triangle of the lattice.
