Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

GlideReflection(Q, P, p, AB)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

P

-

geometric object

p

-

plane

AB

-

directed segment

Description

• 

A glide-reflection is the product of a reflection in a plane p and a translation of directed segment AB, where AB lies in the plane.

• 

For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

• 

The command with(geom3d,GlideReflection) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
