Definition
A Wyckoff position consists of all points X of a space group G for which the site-symmetry groups are conjugate subgroups of G.
Each Wyckoff positon of a space group is labelled by a letter which is called the Wyckoff letter.
The number of different Wyckoff position of each space group is finite, the maximal numbers being 9 for plane groups (realized in p2mm) and 27 for space groups (realized in Pmmm).
