Change here the volume representation for a single cell or a list of cells.
To modify an cell, click over its graphic image, or write its identification
(name and number) on the
Cell entry. To modify a list of cells, press
the button
List (after creating the list of cells with
Cell->Select).
Parameters for empty entries or
Local choices remain unchanged.
To change an cell name write the new name in the
Cell entry,
followed by the cell number (GAMGI needs the number to identify the cell).
To change the name for a list of cells, press
List first
and then write the new common name in the
Name entry.
Type
Lattices can be represented using
Conventional,
Primitive
or
Wigner-Seitz cells, plus filtering volumes such as a
Parallelepiped or a
Sphere. Lattices can also be represented
by the stereographic
Projection of its crystallographic planes
and directions (added by users, after the projection is created).
Cells with a
Hexagonal system and a rhombohedral
R lattice
(corresponding to the seven R space groups when using the standard Hermann-Mauguin
symbols), are always represented using the hexagonal axes and the obverse setting,
when the chosen type is
Conventional, and the rombohedral axes, when the
chosen type is
Primitive. Cells with a
Hexagonal system and a
primitive
P lattice (corresponding to all the other space groups from 143
to 194 that are not R) are always represented using full hexagonal prismas, when
the chosen type is
Conventional, and one-third of the hexagonal prismas,
when the chosen type is
Primitive.
N1, N2, N3
Change the number of cells to replicate, in the three directions of space,
when the chosen type is
Conventional,
Primitive
or
Wigner-Seitz. When not needed, these parameters are disabled.
V1, V2, V3, V23, V13, V12
A
Parallelepiped filtering volume is defined by three edge
lengths,
V1,
V2,
V3, plus the three angles between
them,
V23,
V13,
V12. Each angle must be smaller
than the sum of the other two and must be larger than the absolute
difference of the other two, otherwise an error is produced.
A
Sphere filtering volume is defined by the radius
v1.
When not needed, these parameters are disabled.
All nodes inside the volume representation are allocated (even if the
user choosed to hide them). In
Parallelepiped and
Sphere
volumes, a small tolerance (by default 1.0E-4) is added around the volume
space to make sure that nodes in the borders are included. For example,
a sphere with
v1 =
1.0, filtering a cubic primitive lattice
with
a =
1.0, allocates 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 7 nodes (without
the tolerance, the result could be undefined).
