° (Himes & Mighell, 1987 ▶).
The BGAOL, BLAF and ITERATE columns show distances in Å2 from the probe to the appropriate boundary manifold for the indicated Niggli lattice character in
. The BLAF column uses
distances versus
distances for the others. The DELOS column shows the numbers of cycles of relaxation of the Delaunay reduction needed to find the indicated symmetry. The OT-BLD column is a dimensionless fractional measure of the agreement of metric tensors. The significant differences between the BGAOL and ITERATE values in some cases are a result of the expansion and contraction factors (see the text) when
measures are applied outside the Niggli cone.
