Description
Examples
GlideReflection(Q, P, p, AB)
Q
-
the name of the object to be created
P
geometric object
p
plane
AB
directed segment
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.
