Name:_topol_node.extended_point_symbol
Definition:
The extended point symbol of a N-coordinated node lists all shortest
circuits for each of the N(N-1)/2 angles (pairs of edges) incident to
the node. It is written as A(a).B(b)... where A, B, ... designate sizes of
circuits, which meet at angles A, B, ..., and a, b, ... designate numbers
of these circuits. It is sorted so shortest circuits come first. For
a 4-coordinated node connected to nodes w,x,y,z, the angles are ordered
in opposite pairs; wx,yz; wy,xz; wz,xy (written in lexicographic order
smallest numbers first).
Examples:| 6(2).6(2).6(2).6(2).6(2).6(2) | ES for a vertex in the diamond structure |
| 4.6(2).4.8(3).6(2).6(2) | ES for one vertex of feldspar net |
| 7(2).9(2).7(3).7(3).7(3).7(3) | ES for the vertex of qzd net |
| 4.4.4.4.6(3).6(3).6(5).6(5).6(5).6(5) | ES for the vertex of 5-c sqp net |
