The crystallographic point-group symmetry associated with each space group is given on the top line of the space-group diagrams. There are 32 crystallographic point groups and these are shown in the table below:

The 11 centrosymmetric point groups are shown in red, the 11 enantiomorphic point groups are shown in green, and the 10 polar point groups are shown with an asterisk *. (Note that in the above table, inversion axes are written with a minus sign in front of the axis symbol.)

The symbols for point groups -42m, 32, 3m, -3m, and -62m may be written in alternative forms so as to indicate symmetry with respect to the unit-cell axes, e.g. -42m, 321, and -31m.
