In mathematics, a non-Euclidean crystallographic group, NEC group or N.E.C.
These symmetry groups correspond to the wallpaper groups in euclidean geometry.
A NEC group which contains only orientation-preserving elements is called a Fuchsian group, and any non-Fuchsian NEC group has an index 2 Fuchsian subgroup of orientation-preserving elements.
Others are listed in Orbifold notation.
