James,
The IUCr report that Ethan referred to distinguishes carefully between
a "symmetry element" and a "symmetry operation". A symmetry element
corresponds to a set of coaxial rotation or screw axes (assuming we're
limiting the discussion to enantiomorphic space groups) in a unit cell

] Question on Symmetry Axis Notation Convention
Hello All,
I would like to discuss symmetry axes, but I'm not sure what the notation
convention is. For example, I'd like to say something about a 2(1) along the
x-axis, but the phrase "the 2(1) symmetry axis along x" is a bit cumber

Hello All,
I would like to discuss symmetry axes, but I'm not sure what the notation
convention is. For example, I'd like to say something about a 2(1) along the
x-axis, but the phrase "the 2(1) symmetry axis along x" is a bit cumbersome to
repeat many times or to put in a table. So I'd like a
