A font, cryst, has been created by Ulrich Müller for displaying crystallographic symmetry axes in the style of the space-group diagrams in International Tables for Crystallography.
The following files are available for download.
p +cryst1.map(config.ps is in a directory like \texmf\dvips\config or /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config). If you use pdfTeX, insert
map +cryst1.mapto your pdftex.cfg file (in \texmf\pdftex\config or /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config).
cryst cryst1 <cryst.pfbFinally, tell TeX which new files and directories exist. This is done by a command like
initexmf -u
for MikTeX under Windows, or run texhash under root in the shell of Linux RedHat.
Include the following commands in the preamble of your document:
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{cry}{\hyphenchar\font=-1}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{cry}{m}{n}{ <-> cryst}{}
\newcommand{\cry}[1]{{\usefont{U}{cry}{m}{n} \symbol{#1}}}
To produce the graphical symbol number n in the text, use the command
\cry{n}
n is the number of the symbol in the list of symbols (see file cryst1.pdf). For example, the command \cry{41} will produce the symbol for a 4_1 axis.
Use
\put(..,..){\makebox(0,0)[Pos]{\cry{..}}}
commands to position the symbols in \put commands in picture environments (cf. file cryst1.pdf).
