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 64 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 4 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

A2BC2D9E2_oP64_19_2a_a_2a_9a_2a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP64, then the space-group number 19, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Al: 4a; Al: 4a; F: 4a; K: 4a; K: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; O: 4a; P: 4a; P: 4a). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
