[Pw_forum] Conversion

[Florian Altvater]

I just realized that my answer a) converts from crystal to angstrom and
b) only applies to cubic unit cells (what I usually work with).

To convert from cartesian coordinates in angstrom to crystal coordinates
you need to know your crystal lattice vectors in cartesian coordinates
in angstrom. Generate a 3x3 matrix with the column vectors equal to your
crystal lattice vectors. Then multiply your cartesian coordinate vectors
from the right with the inverse of that matrix to obtain the coordinate
vectors in crystal coordinate units.

If that was too confusing, feel free to ask me directly and I can guide
you through the process step by step offline.
