The identification of twofold axes is straightforward if the cell is based on three of the shortest lattice translations. The distribution of twofold axes in space fixes the lattice symmetry and most conventional cell edges. A program based on this approach has been written. It works for the seven cases with minimum branching of the algorithm.
