The 24 `Symmetrische Sorten'

In the centred monoclinic lattices, the set [\{{\bf a},{\bf c},{\bf a}+{\bf c}\}=\{{\bf p},{\bf q},{\bf r}\}] of the three shortest vectors in the ac plane is used to describe the metrical conditions. These vectors are renamed according to their relation to the projection of the centring point in the ac plane: p designates the vector that crosses the projection of the centring point, q is the shorter one of the two others and r labels the third one.
