IUCr 1994 Report - Volume `F'. N-Dimensional Space Groups

This volume will consist of a printed volume and a diskette or CD-ROM with a computer program.

The program permits, dimension-independent, the generation of all n-dimensional space groups belonging to a given n-dimensional point group, in any desired orientation or setting. Input is a set of generators of the point group in (nxn)-matrix form. For an n-dimensional space group, all data given in Volume A for the three-dimensional space groups can be calculated. This program would probably be the first `electronic book' distributed and sold by the IUCr.

The accompanying printed volume will contain an introduction to n-dimensional crystallographic groups, a manual and a tutorial for the use of the software.
