AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric construction demonstrating Frieze Group P2 symmetry, featuring a horizontal line segment and two perpendicular vertical line segments. Start by identifying the intersection points between the horizontal and vertical segments. Then, create symmetric copies of the horizontal line segment using mirror operations across the vertical segments. Next, use the vector formed by the endpoints of the horizontal segment to translate multiple copies along its direction. Finally, perform 180-degree rotations around the intersection points to showcase the symmetry transformations of Frieze Group P2.
