Name

LatticeSymmetry — Various ways of specifying lattice symmetry (ie point groups).

Subclasses

Subclasses are listed as they appear in the GUI and (in parentheses) as they appear in scripts.

Description

LatticeSymmetry parameters are used in a few cases in which it's necessary to specify the full point group of the crystal lattice. For example, when providing an elastic modulus, it may be sufficient to say that a material is cubic, but when deciding whether two Euler angles represent equivalent orientations, it may be necessary to know which cubic point group the material belongs to.

The subclasses of LatticeSymmetry allow you to specify the symmetry in a variety of popular styles. Any of the styles can be used to represent any symmetry.
