 Obvious examples of such transformations are rotations, by $90^\circ$, $180^\circ$,​ $270^\circ$,​ and of course $0^\circ$. Obvious examples of such transformations are rotations, by $90^\circ$, $180^\circ$,​ $270^\circ$,​ and of course $0^\circ$.

 A counter-example is a rotation by, say $5^\circ$. The upper-right corner point $A$ of the square is obviously mapped to a point $A'$ outside of the initial set. Of course, a square still looks like a square after a rotation by $5^\circ$, but, by definition, this is a different square, mathematically a different set of points. Hence, a rotation by $5^\circ$ is no symmetry of the square. A counter-example is a rotation by, say $5^\circ$.
