From a given standard setting (O, A, B) (conventional unit-cell origin and vectors) of a two-dimensional space group G(p4), it is possible, for each isomorphic subgroup g(p4), to select exactly one standard setting (o, a, b) subject to the following conditions. (1) Vector conditions: a = p1A + p2B, b = -p2A + p1B, P1 > 0, P2 ≥ 0 (P1, P2\bb Z). (2) Origin conditions: (a) if (P1 + P2) is odd, then the coordinates X, Y of o, with respect to (O, A, B), obey the next conditions: X, Y integers, 0 ≤ X < GCD(P1, P2), 0 ≤ Y < (P21 + P22)/ GCD(P1, P2), GCD = greatest common divisor; (b) if (P1 + P2)/GCD(P1,P2) is even, then 2X and 2Y are both even or odd, 0 ≤ X < GCD(P1, P2), 0 ≤ Y < (P21 + P22)/2GCD(P1, P2); (c) if P1, P2 are even and (P1 + P2)/GCD(P1, P2) is odd then 2X and 2Y are both even or odd, 0 ≤ X < GCD (P1, P2)/2 and 0 ≤ Y < (P21 + P22) /GCD(P1, P2). In any case there are exactly (P21 + P22) subgroups relevant to the same vector conditions. Tables of isomorphic subgroups p(4) are given for indices up to 25.
