NAME
     sc::CharacterTable - The CharacterTable class provides a workable character
     table for all of the non-cubic point groups.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pointgrp.h>

   Public Types
     enum  pgroups  {  C1, CS, CI, CN, CNV, CNH, DN, DND, DNH, SN, T, TH, TD, O,
	 OH, I, IH }

   Public Member Functions
     CharacterTable (const char *)
	 This constructor takes the Schoenflies symbol of a point group  as  in-
	 put.
     CharacterTable (const char *, const SymmetryOperation &)
	 This  is like the above, but it also takes a reference to a SymmetryOp-
	 eration which is the frame of reference.
     CharacterTable (const CharacterTable &)
     CharacterTable & operator= (const CharacterTable &)
     int nirrep () const
	 Returns the number of irreps.
     int order () const
	 Returns the order of the point group.
     const char * symbol () const
	 Returns the Schoenflies symbol for the point group.
     IrreducibleRepresentation & gamma (int i)
	 Returns the i'th irrep.
     SymmetryOperation & symm_operation (int i)
	 Returns the i'th symmetry operation.
     int complex () const
	 Cn, Cnh, Sn, T, and Th point groups have complex representations.
     int inverse (int i) const
	 Returns the index of the symop which is the inverse of symop[i].
     int ncomp () const
     int which_irrep (int i)
	 Returns the irrep component i belongs to.
     int which_comp (int i)
	 Returns which component i is.
     void print (std::ostream &=ExEnv::out0()) const
	 This prints the irrep to the given file, or stdout if none is given.

Detailed Description
     The CharacterTable class provides a workable character table for all of the
     non-cubic point groups.

     While I have tried to match the ordering in Cotton's book, I don't  guaran-
     tee  that it is always followed. It shouldn't matter anyway. Also note that
     I don't lump symmetry operations of the same class together.  For	example,
     in C3v there are two distinct C3 rotations and 3 distinct reflections, each
     with  a  separate	character.  Thus  symop has 6 elements rather than the 3
     you'll find in most published character tables.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
   sc::CharacterTable::CharacterTable (const char *, const SymmetryOperation &)
     This is like the above, but it also takes a reference to  a  SymmetryOpera-
     tion  which  is  the frame of reference. All symmetry operations are trans-
     formed to this frame of reference.

Member Function Documentation
   int sc::CharacterTable::complex () const [inline]
     Cn, Cnh, Sn, T, and Th point  groups  have  complex  representations.  This
     function  returns 1 if the point group has a complex representation, 0 oth-
     erwise.
