Hi Pavel,
hm, it goes in the right direction, but is not exactly what I'm looking for,
as it is bound to scatterers and not to sites in general. And adding a
scatterer for each site I want to convert to the structure first, then
converting, and than extracting the converted sites from the scatterers
afterwards seems quite inefficient to me.
Also I think it would be clearer to add the functionality for this to the
"fractionalize" function as people trying to convert from direct space
coordinates to fractional coordinates will most likely find this functionality
first.
Cheers,
Jan
