For example all reflection in the zone (h,k,0) are centrics in all space groups with twofold axes down c.

Theorem: '''The phase of a centric reflection is restricted to phi(h,k,l)=pi*(h*tx_g+k*ty_g+l*tz_g) plus or minus any integer number of pi'''

where the vector t_g=(tx_g,ty_g,tz_g) is the translational part of the symop g that causes the reflection to be centric.
