(swsym-str)=

# swsym.str

## Syntax
  
`symstr = swsym.str(symop)`
  
## Description
  
`symStr = swsym.str(symOp)` generates a string equivalent of the given
symmetry operator matrix. The string contains the operators separated by
`;` and the $xyz$ axis transformations are separated by `,`. For example
a valid symmetry operator is `'x,y+1/2,z+1/2'`. Translations are given as
fractions and the `'xyz'` letters correspond to the 3 crystal axes.
  
## Input Arguments
  
`symOp`
: Symmetry operators in a matrix with dimensions of $[3\times 4\times
  n_{op}]$, where rotations matrices are stored in `symOp(:,1:3,:)` and
  and translation vectors in `symOp(:,4,:)`.
  
## Output Arguments
  
`strSym`
: String that contains the symmetry operations.
