ID: https://schemas.anyterial.se/defs/v0.1/properties/spacegroups/bravais_type
Definition name: bravais_type
Property name: Bravais type
Description: The Bravais type of the translational lattice.
Type: string
The symbol consists of a lower-case crystal-system letter followed by an upper-case centring symbol.
Side-centred settings (A, B, or C centring) are normalized to the setting-independent S symbol for monoclinic and orthorhombic lattices.
Body-centred monoclinic settings keep the symbol mI, which describes the same lattice type as mS in a different conventional cell choice.
