A method of crystalShape.

the section of a crystal shape by a lattice plane through its centre

Syntax

plotInnerFace(cS, N)

The plane N inside the shape.

plotInnerFace(cS, N, faceColor='red', faceAlpha=0.5, displayName='(101)')

Coloured, for a legend.

Description

The plane is drawn as the polygon where it cuts the shape, in the axes of the shape, so that it shows inside a translucent shape drawn before: plot(cS, faceAlpha=0.2), then plotInnerFace with the figure held. Several planes give several polygons.

Input

cS crystalShape
N Miller, the lattice plane, one or several

Keywords

keyword default description
faceColor 'blue' the colour of the section
faceAlpha 1.0 its opacity
edgeColor 'k' the colour of its edges
lineWidth 0.8 the width of its edges
displayName None its label in a legend

Output

h the matplotlib collection of the sections, None when the plane misses the shape
