text: A glide plane is a reflection in a plane, followed by a translation parallel with that plane. This is noted by , , or , depending on which axis the glide is along.  There is also the  glide, which is a glide along the half of a diagonal of a face, and the  glide, which is a fourth of the way along either a face or space diagonal of the unit cell. The latter is called the diamond glide plane as it features in the diamond structure. In 17 space groups, due to the centering of the cell, the glides occur in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, i.e. the same glide plane can be called b or c, a or b, a or c. For example, group Abm2 could be also called Acm2, group Ccca could be called Cccb. In 1992, it was suggested to use symbol e for such planes. The symbols for five space groups have been modified:
