Symmetry group 16 (p6)

This group contains 60° rotations, that is, rotations of order 6. It also contains rotations of orders 2 and 3, but neither reflections nor glide reflections. The lattice is hexagonal. A fundamental region for the symmetry group is one-sixth of an equilateral triangle of the lattice.
