Category TWIN

Name:
'_twin_[]'

Definition:

   Data items in the TWIN category record general details about
     the nature of the twinning in the sample.
     Terminology for twin dataname definitions was taken directly from:
     "International Union of Crystallography Commission on Mathematical 
     and Theoretical Crystallography Research themes: Crystal twinning"
     by Massimo Nespolo, February 3, 2009.

Example:

The twinning example presented here shows twinning by merohedry for a trigonal crystal system. The simulated space group is P 32 2 1, but the true space group is P 32. The twin operation chosen is 2: x, x, 0 in P 32 2 1 corresponding to operation (by rows) 0, 1, 0 / 1, 0, 0 / 0, 0, -1 [see Table 11.2.2.1 of International Tables for Crystallography (2005), Vol. A]. The TWIN_REFLN loop gives the properties of each diffraction peak (identified by _twin_refln_datum_id) which is indexed to both the twin individuals. In each of the loops shown in this example the first items on a line are the list reference. While the list reference must be present in every loop, it is not necessary that it should be declared as the first item in the loop.
