Suggested strategy

It is recommended to use a two- or three-stages procedure (i.e. triclinic lattices should preferably be studied separately), for example:

    1. search in high symmetries down to orthorhombic: Line 2: n,itype,1,1,1,1,0,0
    2. search in monoclinic symmetry: Line 2: n,itype,0,0,0,0,1,0
    3. if necessary, search in triclinic symmetry: Line 2 : n,itype,0,0,0,0,0,1


Note that for solutions with Monoclinic and Triclinic symmetries the program provides the reduced cell. If various equivalent solutions are found, only one of them is listed in the output file.


Trigonal symmetry case with rhombohedral lattice: the pattern is indexed with an hexagonal lattice, having a unit cell volume three times greater.
