Determination of a Space Group Symmetries

After the analytical and melliodological clarifications from the previous section, one can now proceed to formulate the algorithm by which any space group can be completely described, starting from its symbol, as follows (International Tables for Crystallography, 2003).

We will further illustrate die case of the space group ( 17)P222j. 

The symbol denotes a primitive lattice with a helical axis of second order along the direction [o], a second order helical axis along the [b] direction and a 2j helical in the [c] direction.
