Figure 3
The use of positional information in a diffraction pattern to rule out the presence of pseudotranslation. In (a), yellow and magenta boxes are centered at Bragg positions on the main lattice and candidate coset, respectively. (b) plots the observed position of the pixel maximum found in each box in relation to the predicted box position. The plot shows that spot maxima on the main lattice (yellow dots) cluster tightly around their predicted positions. The distribution can be modeled as a bivariate Gaussian, with the yellow ellipse enclosing 95% of the probability density. Spot maxima on the candidate coset (magenta dots) lie mainly outside of this ellipse (70% in this case), showing that the coset spots do not conform to the expected sublattice.
