A method of referenceFrame.
the elements of the point group of a frame drawn on the upper hemisphere, as the international tables draw them; MATLAB’s referenceFrame.plot
Syntax
plot(cs)
The symmetry elements.
plot(cs, symbolSize=2, mirrorLineWidth=1.5)
Larger symbols, thinner mirrors.
plotSymmetry(crystalFrame('-3m'))
The same by name.
Description
A mirror plane is a great circle, an n-fold rotation axis a filled polygon of n corners (a lens for a twofold), a rotoinversion axis a hollow one around the polygon of its proper part, and the inversion of a Laue group a hollow circle at the centre. The projection follows the keywords of the spherical plots.
Input
fr |
crystalFrame or specimenFrame |
Keywords
| keyword | default | description |
|---|---|---|
symbolSize |
None |
a factor on the size of the symbols, by default a third of the chart’s extent |
mirrorLineWidth |
2.5 |
the width of the great circles of the mirror planes |
Output
sP |
the spherical plot drawn into |
