PLAT127
PLAT127 Type_1 Test for _symmetry_space_group_name_Hall consistency
The reported Hall-symbol is not identical to the one internally tabulated
for the space-group as derived from the explicitly supplied symmetry
operations. As an example, the Hall symbols '-P 2yn' and '-P 2yabc' both
correspond with space-group 'P21/n'. Alternatively, no Hall-symbol could be
derived by PLATON for the explicit set of symmetry operations. This may be
the case when an unusual origin is chosen.
