GlideReflection

  

find the glide-reflection of a geometric object

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

GlideReflection(Q, P, l, AB)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

P

-

geometric object

l

-

line

AB

-

directed segment on l

Description

• 

Let l be a fixed line of the plane and AB a given directed segment on l. By the glide-reflection G⁡l,AB we mean the product R⁡lT⁡AB where R⁡l is the reflection with respect to the line l, and T⁡AB is the translation with respect to the directed segment AB. The line l is called the axis of the glide-reflection, and the directed segment AB on l is called the vector of the glide-reflection.

• 

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

• 

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