dials.symmetry

Introduction

This program implements the methods of POINTLESS ( Evans, P. (2006). Acta Cryst. D62, 72-82. and Evans, P. R. (2011). Acta Cryst. D67, 282-292.) for scoring and determination of Laue group symmetry.

The program takes as input a set of one or more integrated experiments and reflections.

Examples:

dials.symmetry experiments.json reflections.pickle
