Name:
_refine_ls.number_restraints

Aliases:

_refine.ls_number_restraints

Definition:

   
    The number of restrained parameters in the least-squares refinement. These
    parameters are not directly dependent on another refined parameter. Often
    restrained parameters involve geometry or energy dependencies. See also
    _atom_site.constraints and _atom_site.refinement_flags_*. A description
    of refinement constraints may appear in _refine.special_details.

Type: Integer

Units: none


The permitted range is 0 → infinity
