Extract

Cyclically repeating patterns are a common feature of mathematical films. The study of the symmetries which arise in such configurations has a theoretical interest to mathematicians watching the film, and it also has a practical interest to the film maker, because the symmetries present in a diagram can often be used to reduce the labour of drawing. It does not seem that these symmetries have been commented on before, and in this article we attempt a complete enumeration of the cases which can arise.
