Added translate_cell function

[lej0hn]

Aims to solve #360 . Function translates cell so that its soma at the origin of the axes

[pgleeson]

Perhaps a better name for this would be translate_cell_to_origin() as there could be another method translate_cell() which takes a point as an argument and translates it to there..?

[lej0hn]

Yes of course, fixed it

[sanjayankur31]

Is it worth generalising this to translate_cell where dest is an argument that by default is [0, 0, 0] (origin)? What do you think @lej0hn ?

[lej0hn]

Yes, I think that's a good idea

[lej0hn]

This is ready for review. I changed the name to translate_cell_to_coords thinking there might be a future function, translate_by for example, that could translate the cell by some distance (x,y,z) in the according axis

I've put up a pull request to add @lej0hn! :tada:

@lej0hn : quick question: do you have pre-commit setup so that the files are formatted before being committed? Do check because my pre-commit formatted both files again when I looked at them, suggesting they weren't originally formatted here in the PR

[lej0hn]

No, I don't have pre-commit setup. I will check that

[sanjayankur31]

Cool, all you have to do is run pre-commit install in the repo, and it'll take care of things automatically after that.
