Is there a way to open a crystal structure and realign the structure with an 
axis, then save the transformed coordinates?  I want all atoms to remain in the 
same position with respect to each other...just not with respect to the 
crystallographically defined x, y, z.  I have tried alter_state command with 
rebuild....but I only seem to be able to find commands that translate along the 
x, y, z. The rebuild does rewrite the coordinates, so that bit is working.  I 
have tried rotating, but this only rotates around an already defined axis.  I 
need to move the structure away from the predefined axis positions; the easiest 
way I could think would be to align with a current axis, but open to other 
ideas. For example, if there is a way to incorporate sine and cosine into the 
alter_state function...

Thanks in advance!
