Description
-----------

A SEAMM plug-in for building crystals from prototypes. This plug-in
provides an interface to the `AFLOW Encyclopedia of Crystallographic
Prototypes`_. Users can specify the prototype, elements to place in
the positions, as well as the lattice parameter, creating a crystal
for subsequent editing and building steps and for simulations using
the range of codes supported by SEAMM.

* Free software: BSD-3-Clause
* Documentation: https://molssi-seamm.github.io/crystal_builder_step/index.html

.. _AFLOW Encyclopedia of Crystallographic Prototypes: http://www.aflowlib.org/prototype-encyclopedia/

Features
--------

* 590 crystal prototypes.
* Selection by common prototypes, such as FCC, BCC, and Diamond
* Selection by Strukturbericht designation.
* Searching by number of atomice sites in the prototype.
* Specification of elements for each site in a prototype.
* Specification of cell parameters to override the defaults.
