Name

Transform3D.get_nsym :: return the number of rotations associated with a given point-group symmetry

Typical Usage

nsym = Transform3D.get_nsym(SymString)

possible values for SymString (can us single or double quotes) are

• 1. 'cn', axial symmetry (around z) of order n like 'c1', 'c2' etc
• 2. 'dn', axial symmetry (around z) of order n and also d symmetry like 'd1', 'd2' etc
• 3. 'icos' meaning icosahedral symmetry
• 4. 'oct' meaning the symmetry of the cube/octahedron
• 5. 'tet' meaning the symmetry of the tetrahedron
• 6. 'i','c1' meaning no symmetry
