Hello Kwant community,
Given a square lattice Hamiltonian, I am trying to put a rectangular sample 
along an oblique direction to the x,y axes of the underlying square lattice, 
i.e., the rectangular sides are along new rotated X,Y axes. One can fix the 
site at the origin (0,0) in the rotation. I have done this successfully using 
commensurate rotation angles in the following code. The comments in the code 
explain in detail. The sample looks like this 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rd9bjbd7ataosy/lattice_fig.pdf?dl=0).

Then I would like to attach leads along the new X-axis (just normally connect 
to the rectangular sample that doesn't need adding extra sites). I put the 
translation symmetry rotated to X and confine the lead shape in Y. I expected 
the lead would just connect to the sample with the interface in Y direction. 
However, many extra sites are added and the interface is rendered in the old y 
direction, although the lead does extend in X. The code below attaches only one 
lead in order to contrast the interface and the opposite unaffected sample 
edge. The system looks like this 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wj6r2ws5ev20p5/lattice_fig0.pdf?dl=0).

So the question is how to attach leads in the expected way. Thanks!
