Dear All, For a little while now I have been using some cctbx jiffy code to convert from symmetry operations to matrices to help with testing reindexing data. This works as def symop_to_mat(symop): return matrix.sqr(sgtbx.rt_mx( sgtbx.parse_string(symop)).as_double_array()[:9]).transpose().elems Which is plenty simple. However it just exploded when given "1/2*z,-y+1/2*z,x" - reasonably really as this is not a rotation. It is however a valid reindexing operation to go from C2 to P1. Does anyone have code which will handle this general transformation from a reindexing operation to a matrix, which will cope with the fact that the resulting matrix is not RT? I had a little jiffy I wrote using ccp4f lib (symop2mat - you can probably see it!) but I am trying to do away with things like that and do everything properly...
