Detailed Description

An encapsulation of octahedral symmetry Doctor Phil has this to say about the octahedral symmetry: "Each Platonic Solid has 2E symmetry elements.

"A cube has m=3, n=4, F=6 E=12=nF/2, V=8=nF/m,since vertices shared by 3 squares; It is composed of 6 squares. An octahedron has m=4, n=3, F=8 E=12=nF/2, V=6=nF/m,since vertices shared by 4 triangles"

Member Function Documentation

virtual string EMAN::OctahedralSym::get_desc  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Get a description.

Returns:
a clear desciption of this class

Implements EMAN::FactoryBase.

Definition at line 806 of file symmetry.h.

00806 { return "Octahedral symmetry support"; }

virtual int EMAN::OctahedralSym::get_max_csym  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Gets the maximum symmetry of this object.

This is used by OrientationGenerators, and is probably not something a general user would utilize.

Returns:
for octahedral symmetry, this number is 4

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.

Definition at line 812 of file symmetry.h.

00812 { return 4; }

virtual string EMAN::OctahedralSym::get_name  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Return OctahedralSym::NAME.

Returns:
the unique name of this class

Implements EMAN::FactoryBase.

Definition at line 801 of file symmetry.h.

00801 { return NAME; };

virtual int EMAN::OctahedralSym::get_nsym  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Gets the total number of unique roational symmetry operations associated with this symmetry For octahedral symmetry this is 24.

Returns:
24

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.

Definition at line 837 of file symmetry.h.

00837 { return 24; };

Transform OctahedralSym::get_sym const int  n  )  const [virtual]
 

This function provides access to the unique rotational symmetries of an octahedron.

We have placed the octahedral symmetry group with a face along the z-axis. In all, there are 24 (accessed by get_nysm) unique rotational symmetric operations for the octahedron. In the terminology defined Append A (titled Symmetry Elements) in the manuscript Baldwin and Penczek, 2007. The Transform Class in SPARX and EMAN2. JSB 157(250-261), Doctor Phil has this to say: "B^4=A^3=1; BABA=1; implies AA=BAB, ABA=B^3 , AB^2A = BBBABBB and 20 words with at most a single A 1 B BB BBB A BA AB BBA BAB ABB BBBA BBAB BABB ABBB BBBAB BBABB BABBB BBBABB BBABBB BBBABBB also ABBBA is distinct yields 4 more words ABBBA BABBBA BBABBBA BBBABBBA for a total of 24 words Note A BBB A BBB A reduces to BBABB and B A BBB A is the same as A BBB A BBB etc."

Parameters:
n the symmetric operation number.
Returns:
a transform containing the correct rotational symmetry operation.

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.
