Hello everyone

sorry for the intervention with some basic questions regarding twinning

In continuation with the discussion with Liang i would like to ask a
question which i faced..i have also solved a structure and the statistics
depending on twin laws as described through xtriage, phenix is as follows:

operator k,h,-l
type pseudomerohedral
brotton alpha 0.019
h alpha 0.023
m alpha 0.22

it seems the probable twin fraction in my case is 0.2, now the question is
does it mean that in another twin domain ie. twin operator h,k,l the twin
fraction will be 0.8 ?
