  Frieze group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formally, a frieze group is a class of infinite discrete symmetry groups for patterns on a strip (infinitely wide rectangle), hence a class of groups of isometries of the plane, or of a strip.
In the case of symmetry groups in the plane, additional parameters are the direction of the translation vector, and, for the frieze groups 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, the positioning perpendicular to the translation vector.
A symmetry group in frieze group 1, 3, 4, or 5 is a subgroup of a symmetry group in the last frieze group with the same translational distance.

The elements of the group are therefore isometries of the plane, or of a strip.
Each of the frieze groups is a subgroup of this last group, which is the symmetry group of the simplest periodic pattern in the strip (or the plane): a "row of dots" Z × {0}.
This group is the "largest" frieze group and requires three generators, with one generating set consisting of a translation, the reflection in the horizontal axis and a reflection across a vertical axis.

 Wallpaper group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern.
Two such isometry groups are of the same type (of the same wallpaper group) if they are the same up to an affine transformation of the plane.

 3.2 The Symmetry Group of Friezes
The name originated from the friezes occurring in art [6, 8], the decorations obtained by repeating one chosen, symmetric or asymmetric motif.
By choosing possible orthogonal groups for the frieze groups, respecting the condition that it must leave the lattice invariant (Theorem 3.1) we will demonstrate that there are 7 non-isomorphic frieze groups.
For completing the classification of frieze groups, we need to show that among the 7 groups derived there are no mutually isomorphic ones.

The various rosette symmetry groups produced during the study also sparked the idea that the Dolorosa could be presented as symmetry design for rose windows.
The rosette was selected for purposes of increasing visual and spatial contrast between the RP pattern and the symmetry, by reducing a one-to-one mapping yet establishing congruence by preserving the vertical and horizontal axes of symmetry.
The symmetry grouping from the first phase space portrait to the second is a transformation from the symmetry group of ornaments to the symmetry group of rosettes and to the symmetry group of frieze.

All frieze groups can be categorized by 7 different groups that have special symmetries.
The following is an example of each of the frieze groups where the blue line represents the horizontal axis of reflection, the green line represents the vertical axis of reflection, the purple lines represent the glide-reflection, and the red dot represents the point where a 180 degrees rotation occurs.

That's why we can say that the frieze is 'carried' by the two-dimensional plane (and is a subgroup of this plane, when the latter is seen as an infinite and continuous group of symmetries) [ NOTE 1 ].
Two group elements of the p11 pattern are indicated (their geometric representations and those of all other group elements -- red and blue areas -- extend beyond the lattice connection line, implying that in the present case (p11) each group element is represented by a vertical band, extending indefinitely upwards as well as downwards).
The group as well as each of its subgroups have a countable infinite number of elements, so the elements of the group can be set in a one-to-one correspondence with those of any of its subgroups, while it is at the same time obvious that products are preserved.

The group pmg can be generated by a glide reflection g parallel to the frieze axis and a reflection m in a reflection line perpendicular to the frieze axis.
When a frieze pattern becomes finite at least in the direction of the frieze axis (which is the direction of repetition of units), it changes into a rosette.
When a 'frieze' is finite in the direction of the frieze axis, but in such a way that the (finite) number of repetitions is still quite large, we can describe it as a pattern with approximate frieze symmetry.

All cases of subgroups which are not normal subgroups of the given group are denoted in the tables of (minimal) indexes of subgroups in groups by italic indexes (e.g., [mg:mg]=3).
Also, the different possibilities that the group mg offers, e.g., the possibilities for antisymmetry and color-symmetry desymmetrizations, the ways of varying the form of the fundamental region, construction possibilities etc., become evident after the analysis of this symmetry group of friezes from the point of view of the theory of symmetry.

The classification of patterns can be further refined according to whether the symmetry group contains translations in one dimension only (a frieze group), in two dimensions (a wallpaper group), or three dimensions (a crystallographic group).
Within these categories, different groups can be distinguished by the number and kind of rotations, reflections, and glides that they contain.
In total, there are seven different frieze groups, seventeen wallpaper groups, and 230 crystallographic groups.
