LEPAGE (mang)
The LEPAGE option in PLATON checks for possible higher metrical symmetry of the lattice (following the algoritm published by Y. LePage).
mang is an optional parameter setting an alternative angular maximum deviation ftom metrical symmetry.
What is needed to run LEPAGE is a small file ('x.spf') with the following data/instructions
TITL text
CELL a b c alpha beta gamma
SPGR space group name (Can be the Laue equivalent)
LEPAGE
and run with the instruction: platon x
TITL look for metrical symmetry
CELL 10 10 10 109.5 109.5 109.5
LATT P
Alternatively (when such a file is available), a '.res', '.cif' etc. file can be used along with the interactive instruction:
LEPAGE
See also the PC/DOS version named LEPAGE that includes a large number of test examples.
