A dashed line marking a glide along an axis.
Also known as: Axial glide mark
The graphical symbol for an axial glide plane on a crystallographic space group diagram, drawn as a dashed line.
Marks an axial glide plane, a reflection combined with a translation of half a cell edge along one axis.
Contexts: Laboratory
Is named a, b or c for the axis the translation runs along, so the letter in a space group symbol names a direction rather than a length.
Contexts: Laboratory
A straight line drawn as a series of long dashes, the breaks marking the translation that accompanies the reflection.
