Parameters:

space_group_number: Between 1 and 231.
proper: Whether to return the point group with proper rotations only (True), or just the point group (False). Default is False.

Returns:

point_group: One of the 11 proper or 32 point groups.

Examples

>>> from orix.quaternion.symmetry import get_point_group
>>> pgOh = get_point_group(225)
>>> pgOh.name
'm-3m'
>>> pgO = get_point_group(225, proper=True)
>>> pgO.name
'432'
