Patterns and tilings arranged by their symmetry groups

Each link leads to a page where you can compare different patterns with the same symmetry group.
You will see the same pattern showing up in different places over a period of thousands of years, in some cases.
In other cases you will see remarkably different patterns that share the same symmetry group.

p6	p4	pmg	p6m	p2	p3
p3m1	cm	pm	pmm	pgg	pg
p1	p31m	p4g	p4m	cmm
