_space_group.Bravais_type

Name:
'_space_group.Bravais_type'

Definition:

   The symbol denoting the lattice type (Bravais type) to which the
   translational subgroup (vector lattice) of the space group
   belongs. It consists of a lower-case letter indicating the
   crystal system followed by an upper-case letter indicating
   the lattice centring. The setting-independent symbol mS
   replaces the setting-dependent symbols mB and mC, and the
   setting-independent symbol oS replaces the setting-dependent
   symbols oA, oB and oC.
