Name:'_space_group.IT_number'
Definition:
The number as assigned in International Tables for Crystallography Volume A, specifying the proper affine class (i.e. the orientation-preserving affine class) of space groups (crystallographic space-group type) to which the space group belongs. This number defines the space-group type but not the coordinate system in which it is expressed. Ref: International Tables for Crystallography (2002). Volume A, Space-group symmetry, edited by Th. Hahn, 5th ed. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers.
