Advanced Types of Reflection Symmetry
For more general types of reflection there are correspondingly more general types of reflection symmetry. For example:
- with respect to a non-isometric affine involution (an oblique reflection in a line, plane, etc.)
- with respect to circle inversion.
Mirrored symmetry is also found in the design of ancient structures, including Stonehenge.
