Input

name Schoenflies or International notation of the Laue group
axes [a,b,c] - length of the crystallographic axes
angle [alpha,beta,gamma] - angle between the axes

Options

X||a*, Z||c default alignment of the cartesian coordinate system to the crystal coordinate system
X||a, Z||c* other alignments
X||b*, Z||c
X||b, Z||c*
EDAX the alignment convention used by EDAX / TSL / OIM, i.e. X||a for triclinic, trigonal and hexagonal lattices and the MTEX default otherwise
