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.
