A glide-reflection is the product of a reflection in a plane p and a translation of directed segment AB, where AB lies in the plane.

For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

The command with(geom3d,GlideReflection) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
