[edit] New article

This page used to redirect to Crystallographic point group, which mentions the Hermann-Mauguin notation but doesn't really explain it. So I created this article. It still needs a bit of work though, so i tagged it as a stub, although the attention tag may be more appropriate.O. Prytz 19:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

This page is pretty opaque. It doesn't describe all of the symbols in the notation. For example, the slash (/) and overbar (-) are not explained. I don't understand these or I'd add it myself. Giving the names of some of the point groups (e.g. dihedral group, etc.) and comparing to Schoenflies notation in these cases would also be beneficial. 131.215.107.130 02:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
