factor two point groups relative to their common symmetry elements.
Syntax
left, common, right = factor(cs1, cs2)
Description
For an MTEX object, factor(x, …) calls x.factor(…). Additional positional and keyword arguments are passed to that method unchanged. Its documentation specifies the accepted inputs, units, symmetry handling and optional outputs. Consult the corresponding method for the behaviour of a particular object type.
Signature
factor(x, *args, **kwargs)
Methods it calls
| referenceFrame | the factorisation of the two groups: self = rot1 * d and other = d * rot2 with d the common elements |
| symmetry | factor two groups using their common symmetry operations |
