Does the set of glide reflections form a group of symmetries?

a glide looks like a star right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a glide reflectction is like a set of footprints...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the glide is a translation and the reflection is across the line between the feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so then no because a foot looks different if you cut it in half one side will look more curved and the otherside will look like, in order to see this make a footprint on your own and cut it in half and you will see what i am talking about.
