This example demonstrates the symmetry of the wallpaper group pmg. Core mathematical concepts include symmetry, limits, linear functions, addition, straight lines, and hypothesis testing. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands: Intersect, Vector, OrthogonalLine, Point, Midpoint, Mirror, Line, Sequence; objects include A, B, u, f, C, v, g, h, pic1, D, E, F, pic1', i, pic1'_1, pic1'', L_1, L_2, L_3, L_4. Suitable for high school and above learning symmetry and geometric transformations.
