DEF_TYPE

Type: enum
Default: ATOMS
Usage: DEF_TYPE ATOMS

Description: Specify how the plane is defined: either by 3 atoms or by a fixed normal vector. At least one plane must be defined through atoms.

Valid values:

• ATOMS Plane defined by the position of 3 atoms

• VECTOR Plane defined by a fixed normal vector
