the specimen symmetry to hand to an orientation for a plotting convention

Description

An orientation keeps its plotting convention in its specimen symmetry. Writing it there after the fact - ori.SS.how2plot = pC - is not an option: symmetry is a handle class and orientation initialises SS with the very instance returned by specimenSymmetry.default, so such an assignment does not attach the convention to this orientation at all.

The default instance is therefore reused only while it already carries this convention, and a private specimen symmetry is created otherwise. Both are triclinic, and symmetry/eq compares point group ids next to handle identity, so ss == specimenSymmetry.default either way.

Syntax

ss = specimenSymmetryFor(pC)

Input

pC plottingConvention, or the referenceFrame the data lives in

Output

ss specimenSymmetry
