Remember
is viewed as translation right by one unit. Then
translation by all whole numbers of units left or right are also in
the symmetry group. In fact since
was a translation by the
smallest distance in our symmetry group, there can't be any other
translations. For example, if translation 3.7 units right were in
our group, then following this by translation 3 units left
would give us a translation by .75 units - too small.
That said, we get a restriction on which vertical mirrors are possible. Suppose our symmetry group has a reflection r with mirror along the y axis, and another reflection with mirror x=c. The composition of these two mirrors is one of our translations. So what are the possible values of c?
