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 Gl,AB we mean the product RlTAB where Rl is the reflection with respect to the line l, and TAB 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.
