This table lists some of the lattices that are available within the Beta version of the code.

Please note that not all of the lattices may be working, some are hard wired through predefined systems within the code and parameters may not be changed. Please consult the manual for information on how to build and define lattices. The rotated bar feature may not work, I have not thoroughly tested it !!!

HINT: To see how the predefined systems work, pick a system within the code, press the refresh button and generate a new control file through the advanced tab. If you then look at the control file you will see how the different systems have been built. If you then change the system number to zero, and edit other lattice parameters you can examine whatever lattice you define.
