Reflectional Symmetries 9
Symmetry group: mf and me
Order: 2
Reflectional symmetries involve transforming a cube algorithm by mirroring it across a specific symmetry plane.
A cube has nine symmetry planes and respectively nine reflectional symmetries.
There are two kinds of reflectional symmetries in a cube:
Reflectional Symmetries across midplanes 3
Symmetry group: mf
Order: 2
Reflectional Symmetries across midplanes involve mirroring the cube algorithm across three coordinate planes that intersects the cube center and are parallel to cube faces. There are three such symmetries.
25.
M Reflection
Symmetry group: mf
Order: 2
In a M Reflection symmetry, the cube algorithm is mirrored across the YZ coordinate plane that bisects
the cube in half vertically through its center, and is parallel to its Right and Left faces.
To apply this symmetry, tap the menu button within the CubePal app and navigate as follows:
To revert this symmetry, apply it again.
26.
E Reflection
Symmetry group: mf
Order: 2
In a E Reflection symmetry, the cube algorithm is mirrored across the XZ coordinate plane that bisects
the cube in half horizontally through its center, and is parallel to its Upper and Down faces.
To apply this symmetry, tap the menu button within the CubePal app and navigate as follows:
To revert this symmetry, apply it again.
27.
S Reflection
Symmetry group: mf
Order: 2
In a S Reflection symmetry, the cube algorithm is mirrored across the XY coordinate plane that bisects
the cube in half vertically through its center, and is parallel to its Front and Back faces.
