Figure 1
Two-dimensional example of variants (equilateral triangles) in orientation relationship with a parent crystal (square). The `general' case is represented in (a), there are 8 variants; the algebraic structure of the variants is a group. Two `special' cases are represented in (b) and (c); the number of variants is then 4 and the algebraic structure is no longer a group but a groupoid.
