Category SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP

Name:
'SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP'

Parent category:
MS_GROUP

Definition:

   

      The SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP category introduced in the symmetry CIF
      dictionary (cif_sym.dic) is intended to replace the original
      core SYMMETRY_EQUIV category. It contains information about the
      symmetry operations of the space group. For modulated structures,
      superspace-group descriptions may be included in the same
      category, but include the _ssg_ flag to indicate their
      dimensionality of > 3.

Category is of type Loop
