#definition()
A _Euclidean isometry_ is a transformation of the plane that preserves distances. \
Intuituvely, an isometry moves objects on the plane without deforming them.
There are four classes of _Euclidean isometries_:
- Translation
- Reflection
- Rotation
- Glide reflection
#note([We can prove that there are no others, but this is beyond the scope of this handout.]) \
A simple example of each isometry is shown below:
#let demo(c) = {
let s = 0.5
cetz.draw.line(
(0, 0),
(3 * s, 0),
(3 * s, 1 * s),
(1 * s, 1 * s),
(1 * s, 2 * s),
(0, 2 * s),
close: true,
fill: c,
stroke: black + 0mm * s,
)
}
#table(
stroke: none,
align: center,
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
rows: (3.5cm, 3.5cm),
row-gutter: 2mm,
[
#cetz.canvas({
import cetz.draw: *
demo(ored)
translate(x: 0, y: -1.5)
demo(oblue)
})
#v(1fr)
Translation
],
[
#cetz.canvas({
import cetz.draw: *
circle((-2, 0), radius: 0.1, stroke: none, fill: black)
arc(
(-2, 0),
radius: 1,
anchor: "origin",
start: 0deg,
stop: -30deg,
mode: "PIE",
)
demo(ored)
rotate(z: -30deg, origin: (-2, 0))
demo(oblue)
})
#v(1fr)
Rotation
],

#cetz.canvas({
import cetz.draw: *
line((-2, 0), (4, 0))

set-transform((
(1, 0, 0, 0),
(0, 1, 0, 0),
(0, 0, 1, 0),
(0, 0, 0, 1),
))
translate(x: 0, y: 0.25)
demo(oblue)

[
#cetz.canvas({

(0, 1, 0, 0),
(0, 0, 0, 0),
(0, 0, 0, 0),

translate(x: 1.5, y: 0)

#definition()
A _wallpaper_ is a two-dimensional pattern that...
- has translational symmetry in at least two directions
#note([(and therefore fills the plane)])
- has a countable number of reflection, rotation, or glide symmetries. \
#problem()
Is the empty plane a valid wallpaper?
#solution([
No, since it has uncountably many symmetries.
])
