Different types of uses for the rotation function

Type of rotation function	Pattersons to be compared		Purpose
Type of rotation function	$[P_{1}]$	$[P_{2}]$	Purpose
Self	Unknown structure	Unknown structure, same cell	Finds orientation of noncrystallographic axes
Cross	Unknown structure	Unknown structure in different cell	Finds relative orientation of unknown molecules
Cross	Unknown structure	Known structure in large cell to avoid overlap of self-Patterson vectors	Determines orientation of unknown structure as preliminary to positioning and subsequent phasing with known molecule
