Usage

Bravais_catalog [file]

Description

Accesses the catalog of bravais groups up to dimension 6.

The first input for the catalog is the family symbol, whose grammar is described in detail in the CARAT manual. It is build up from atomic symbols which are seperated by `,' or `;' to indicate diagonals and direct products. We just state the two important rules here:

 LIST OF 'ATOMS':
 dim1: 1
 dim2: 2-1  2-1'  2-2  2-2'
 dim3: 3
 dim4: 4-1  4-1'  4-2  4-2'  4-3  4-3'
 dim5: 5-1  5-2
 dim6: 6-1  6-2  6-2'  6-3  6-3'  6-4  6-4'

Meaning of `,':                        (X 0 0)
 A,A,A stands for groups of the form   (0 X 0) with X in A
                                       (0 0 X)
Meaning of `;':
 A;B stands for groups of the form (X 0)
                                   (0 Y) with X in A and Y in B.
NOTE: The primed atoms 2-1' and 2-2' only occur in multiples, seperated by `,'.
Examples: 2-1,2-1;2-1     (degree 6)
          1;1;1           (degree 3)
          3,3             (degree 6)
          4-1;1           (degree 5)
