Joe's example involves a vector and line of reflection that are not parallel, and order does matter in such cases. John's example follows the usual definition of glide-reflection, in which the vector and line of reflection are parallel. In those cases, order does not matter.

Which of the following would be more valuable if you could have only one of them (and composition)? (Hint: theory) A) all possible rotations and translations B) all possible reflections

See below. The unlabeled figure at top left is the original figure. Each of the others, labeled a-h, is the result of a rigid transformation of the original. Determine if each is the result of a translation, rotation, reflection, or glide-reflection. See below. The unlabeled figure at top left is the original figure.
