Hi Gengxiang,

Personally I find it impossible to reliably assign a space group from
integrated reflections because you just don't know if the apparent
systematic absence violations are due to a TDS streak or overlapping
neighbouring strong spots.  "In the old days" (i.e. when we had precession
cameras) we would never do this: we would look at the images and see if
there was actually a spot at the Bragg position.  Now technology has
"advanced" and with rotation images it's much harder to do this.  Maybe
it's possible to make pseudo-precession images?

What I would do is assume the worst and assign it temporarily as P422; then
let the HA or MR program sort out the space group by trying all the
possibilities; it's only CPU time after all!


My 2p's worth.
