Connectivity pattern

Examples

The layers are stacked along the [001] direction using the following connectivity patterns

Symmetry Operation^*	Translation^*	Comment	Image
	0
	+1/3 b
	-1/3 b

^* relative to the previous layer

Simplest ordered end members

The color of each layer reflects the translation operation used to generate it from the previous layer (see table above).
