The discrete groups of isometries of the two-dimensional sphere, flat (euclidean) plane and the hyperbolic plane are described and unified using orbifolds. A simple classification schema for orbifolds is proposed that allows systematic exploration of the vast wealth of hyperbolic examples. The article also tabulates space groups that form by decorating simpler triply periodic minimal surfaces with so-called crystallographic hyperbolic orbifolds.
