A method of symmetry.

the conventional sector of the group, the one MTEX draws, with up and east choosing its placement

Syntax

sR = cs.sym.conventionalSector()

Towards z.

sR = cs.sym.conventionalSector(up=-zvector)

On the lower hemisphere.

Description

The hemisphere towards up when some element sends up below it, a wedge about the c axis starting on a mirror plane, else on a two-fold axis, else at a, and the standard triangles of the cubic groups. east matters only where the sector has a choice of side: the monoclinic groups and the orthorhombic ones with a mirror. Called on the group it has no frame; frame.fundamentalSector() takes up and east from the frame’s plotting convention.

Input

pg symmetry

Keywords

keyword default description
up None vector3d, the direction out of the screen, z by default
east None vector3d, the direction to the right, by default the a axis

Output

sR sphericalRegion
