Tonight I'm continuing my exploration of
Wallpaper Groups with an example from group p2. Cells in this group have the following structure:
Key
 | a centre of rotation of order two (180°). |
 | a centre of rotation of order three (120°). |
 | a centre of rotation of order four (90°). |
 | a centre of rotation of order six (60°). |
 | an axis of reflection. |
 | an axis of glide reflection. |

Now applying cats. Note my example flips the parallelogram 90 degrees.
 |
| The cell structure contains a 180 degree rotation |
Once we create our cell, we translate it both vertically and horizontally to cover the plane.
 |
| The cell is translated across the plane to create a pattern |
For more examples of p2 patterns, check out my
pinboard.
