As a follow up to Ian's suggestion, the LABELIT software (sorry for a non-CCP4 
suggestion) will create artificial precession images from your raw oscillation 
images. 

Documentation can be found here:

And an article describing the functionality can be found here:

Hope it helps,

Mike

Hi Gengxiang, 

Personally I find it impossible to reliably assign a space group from 
integrated reflections because you just don't know if the apparent systematic 
absence violations are due to a TDS streak or overlapping neighbouring strong 
spots. "In the old days" (i.e. when we had precession cameras) we would never 
do this: we would look at the images and see if there was actually a spot at 
the Bragg position. Now technology has "advanced" and with rotation images it's 
much harder to do this. Maybe it's possible to make pseudo-precession images? 

What I would do is assume the worst and assign it temporarily as P422; then let 
the HA or MR program sort out the space group by trying all the possibilities; 
it's only CPU time after all! 


My 2p's worth.

Dear CCP4s, 

I am looking for more experienced concerns to determine which space group my 
crystal is. At present, we take it as P42212 (#94). 

HKL is below:
