For a group of Euclidean isometries, every element preserves the displayed union of images of a set, because left multiplication permutes its group indices. Its full setwise isometry group can be larger even when itself has no nonidentity symmetry. Take to be the integer translations of the plane and . By rigidity of a scalene triangle, has trivial stabilizer subgroup. Yet , whose quarter-turn about the origin is a symmetry outside the translation group.
