The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 32 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 16 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.

How to read the label

A2B5C_oC32_63_f_c2f_c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC32, then the space-group number 63, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (O: 4c; Ti: 4c; Fe: 8f; O: 8f; O: 8f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
