_space_group.IT_coordinate_system_code

Name:
'_space_group.IT_coordinate_system_code'

Definition:

   A qualifier taken from the enumeration list identifying which
   setting in International Tables for Crystallography Volume A
   (2002) (IT) is used.  See IT Table 4.3.2.1, Section 2.2.16,
   Table 2.2.16.1, Section 2.2.16.1 and Fig. 2.2.6.4.  This item
   is not computer-interpretable and cannot be used to define the
   coordinate system.  Use _space_group.transform_* instead.
