This week I have gotten two bug reports for site symmetry showing up wrong. I have verified in the case of the first (and I presume for the other, below) that the problem is due to a known bug (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6532) in the latest version of numpy (1.10.1). I saw this bug on a Mac, but it may not be restricted to only that platform. The workaround seems to be to not use that version of the package.
In anaconda there is a simple command: conda install numpy=1.9 matplotlib that can be used to downgrade to the previous version of numpy (which also requires a downgrade for matplotlib). The next version of numpy (1.10.2) is almost ready to go, so this should be a short-term problem. This will not be a problem for EPD or Canopy users, since numpy 1.10.1 is not available in those distributions. Brian Begin forwarded message: From: Bernd Maier Subject: Bug in GSAS-II Date: November 13, 2015 at 2:39:36 AM CST To: "Toby, Brian H." <t...@anl.gov<mailto:t...@anl.gov>> Dear Brian, there is a bug in GSAS-II: Nuclear phase, space group R -3 c, phase calcite. The Oxygen atom sits on 18e (z,0,0.25) with site symmetry .2 and multiplicity of 18. However, if I enter the coordinates in GSAS-II (0.257 0 0.25) the site becomes 36f with site symmetry 1. Can you verify this? All the best, Bernd ******************************************************************** Brian H.
