A method of symmetry.
the rotational axes and their multiplicities, both signs, symmetry/elements
Syntax
axes, mult = cs.sym.elements()
Every axis with its order.
axes = cs.sym.elements(multiplicity=2)
The two-fold axes alone.
Description
Every axis of a rotation or rotoinversion of order above one, with the highest order about it, and its antipode with the same order, as MATLAB lists them.
