RefObjOpt ObjCryst::UnitCell::mConstrainLatticeToSpaceGroup
private

Option to override lattice parameters constraints from spacegroup choice.

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL

Normally lattice parameters are constrained by the space group choice (e.g. a=b=c and angles =90° for cubic spacegroups). Using this option allows you to override this, and choose any lattice parameter. THis works as long as symmetry operations are applied to fractionnal coordinates.

This is useful duting global optimization when searching the structure in a UnitCell which has (or is expected to have) a known pseudo-crystallographic symmetry, to reduce dramatically the number of parameters. Of course for final refinement the 'real' symmetry should be imposed.
