Dear Robert B.Von Dreele
Thank you for your explanation.
Therefore GSAS could do the origin fixing for us when the space group is not
centrosymmetric. Can I boardly say that?

stephen
Apologies for sending the personal note to Jon to the whole mailing list -
at least it didn't have gigabytes of attachments - and for the English and

Actually it doesn't matter how you remove the arbitrary coordinate - the error
propagation gives the same result. try it sometime on some polar space group

Hi Jon,
A lot of what you'll need is in the back of the International Tables Vol. A
in Chapter 15 which goes under the snappy title of "Euclidean and affine
normalisers of space groups and their use in crystallography". From memory,
earlier incarnations of Vol. A do not have this chapter.

I am amazed by the flow of miss information that flows on this list whenever an
apparent problem with a space group comes up.
I asked a related question on sci.techniques.xtallography a few weeks
ago, but have yet to hear anything, misinformation or otherwise. If
anyone here can give me some

Exactly.
ICSD also contains papers from the American Mineralogist, and even
provides direct links to the original paper in electronic form where that
is available. (Bob Downs is working on making more back issues available
on-line).

Andreas. I realized I was wrong when I drew a picture of how the glide

make 4 points at +x +y +z, -x -y +z, +x +y -z, -x -y -z (2 pairs definitely
related by a center of symmetry). I should have done that befo

This problem can actually quite simply be solved without tables:
There is the old rule (which crystrallographers a definitely able to
prove) to obtain the crystal class:
1.delete the Bravais type symbol (delete P in case of P2/n)
2.substitute screw axes by the correspondingly oriented simple

Yes, but the atom doesn't have to sit there, unlike in the case of 2/m. So,
GSAS has to fix z for one atom...
I don't have my International Tables with me, please correct me if I'm wrong
(there should be no sites with a fixed z parameter in P2/n).

Obviously. I was talking about fixing the origin when it is not fixed by symmetry.
By the way, GSAS when generate symmetry from space group symbol provide information
about the origin.
If the origin is not fixed by symmetry is it clearly stated:
For example for P2 "The location of the origin is a

Dear Peter,
the most correct constraint would be to fix a sum of coordinates
of all atoms along polar axis, but not only of the first two.
It gives the best estimation of the standard uncertainties.

Bob,
Thank you for the clarification. I never had doubts that GSAS handles fixed origin
issue properly but also never understand how it
is done. This way has one big advantage over user fixed origin -- it yields standard
uncertainties for all atoms and therefore for
all distances, etc.

Dear Stephen (& others),
I know there have been a number of replies to this since P2/n does have an inversion
center which is positioned at the unit cell origin. However, if the space group is Pn
(or P2) then the location of the origin is arbitrary on one or more axes. GSAS does
"automatically"
Arie,
Your suggestion is the best way to handle this. Just sort the data by hkl to put Ka1
with Ka2 and then sum them pairwise. Some day I'll put that into REFLIST, but you can
do that with the help of the MS-DOS comand "sort" (it is still there in the console
for Win 2K, XP, etc.).

Dear Bob,

Isn't it strange that in the LeBail refinement the Ka1 and Ka2
