60.26 TranslationNormalizer

TranslationNormalizer( S )

returns the normalizer of the space group S in the full translation group. At present, this function is implemented only for space groups, not for general CrystGroups. The translation normalizer TN of S may contain a continuous subgroup C. A basis of the space of such continuous translations is bound in TN.continuousTranslations. Since this subgroup is not finitely generated, it is not contained in the group generated by TN.generators. Properly speaking, the translation normalizer is the span of TN and C together.
