Description

Given a PeaksWorkspace with a UB matrix corresponding to a Niggli reduced cell, this algorithm will allow the user to select a conventional cell with a specified cell type and centering. If the apply flag is not set, the information about the selected cell will just be displayed. If the apply flag is set, the UB matrix associated with the sample in the PeaksWorkspace will be updated to a UB matrix corresponding to the selected cell AND the peaks will be re-indexed using the new UB matrix. The output transformation matrix \(M\) will change \(UB\) to \(UBM^{-1}\) and map each \((HKL)\) vector to \(M(HKL)\). It can be further used by the TransformHKL algorithm. NOTE: The possible conventional cells, together with the corresponding errors in the cell scalars can be seen by running the ShowPossibleCells algorithm, provided the stored UB matrix corresponds to a Niggli reduced cell.

This algorithm is based on the paper: Alan D. Mighell, Lattice Symmetry and Identification—The Fundamental Role of Reduced Cells in Materials Characterization. Journal of research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology 106.6 (2001): 983, available from: nvlpubs.

Usage

Example:

ws=LoadIsawPeaks("TOPAZ_3007.peaks")
FindUBUsingFFT(ws,MinD=8.0,MaxD=13.0)
print("Lattice before SelectCellOfType:")
lattice = ws.sample().getOrientedLattice()
print(" ".join("{:.9f}".format(x) for x in [lattice.a(), lattice.b(), lattice.c(),
                                             lattice.alpha(), lattice.beta(), lattice.gamma()]))
SelectCellOfType(PeaksWorkspace=ws, CellType='Monoclinic', Centering='C', Apply=True)
print("\nLattice after SelectCellOfType:")
lattice = ws.sample().getOrientedLattice()
print(" ".join("{:.9f}".format(x) for x in [lattice.a(), lattice.b(), lattice.c(),
                                             lattice.alpha(), lattice.beta(), lattice.gamma()]))
