Core: use spglib or sophus for symmetry group detection? #476

Open GPMueller opened 5 years ago

GPMueller commented 5 years ago

See https://github.com/atztogo/spglib This would enable a better detection of the geometry type when the basis cell is input manually.

Possibly, this would also make it easy to construct lattices from symmetry operations, which would be a neat little feature to simplify the input file for some cases or to make it easier to transfer from DFT codes.

In this context, https://github.com/strasdat/Sophus might also be interesting.
