Monoclinic centred lattice, projected along the unique axis. Origin for all cells is the same. (a) Unique axis b. Cell choice 1: C-centred cell [a_1,b,c_1]. Cell choice 2: A-centred cell [a_2,b,c_2]. Cell choice 3: I-centred cell [a_3,b,c_3]. (b) Unique axis c. Cell choice 1: A-centred cell [a_1,b_1,c]. Cell choice 2: B-centred cell [a_2,b_2,c]. Cell choice 3: I-centred cell [a_3,b_3,c]. (c) Unique axis a. Cell choice 1: B-centred cell [a,b_1,c_1]. Cell choice 2: C-centred cell [a,b_2,c_2]. Cell choice 3: I-centred cell [a,b_3,c_3].
