A method of latticeType.

which of alpha, beta and gamma the lattice leaves independent

Syntax

free = latticeType.monoclinic.freeAngles()

Beta, the unique axis b.

free = latticeType.monoclinic.freeAngles(uniqueAxis=2)

Gamma, the unique axis c.

Description

A triclinic lattice leaves all three angles free, a monoclinic one the angle between the two axes perpendicular to its unique axis, every other lattice none.

Input

lat latticeType

Keywords

keyword default description
uniqueAxis 1 the unique axis of a monoclinic lattice, 0, 1 or 2 for a, b or c

Output

free three bools, for alpha, beta and gamma
