defines a specimen symmetry
Usually specimen symmetry is either triclinic or orthorhombic - the latter for a rolled sheet, where the sample is symmetric with respect to the rolling and the transverse direction. Unlike a crystalSymmetry it carries no lattice, only the group and the specimen referenceFrame.
Passing a reference frame gives the trivial group carrying that frame, which is how a plotting convention or a gridLayout enters an orientation, see ADR 0003.
Syntax
ss = specimenSymmetry
ss = specimenSymmetry('mmm')
ss = specimenSymmetry('orthorhombic')
ss = specimenSymmetry(pC)
ss = specimenSymmetry(frame)Input
| name | Schoenflies or International notation of the point group |
| pC | plottingConvention |
| frame | referenceFrame to be carried by the trivial group |
Output
| ss | specimenSymmetry |
Class Properties
| id | point group id |
| pointGroup | international notation of the point group |
| lattice | lattice type |
| rot | the symmetry elements as rotation |
| frame | the specimen referenceFrame |
| how2plot | plottingConvention, read only |
Example
ss = specimenSymmetry('mmm')ss = orthorhombic specimenSymmetry (y↓→x)See also
