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 28 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 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

A5B8C_mC28_12_a2i_4i_c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol mC28, then the space-group number 12, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Cr: 2a; Tl: 2c; Cr: 4i; Cr: 4i; Se: 4i; Se: 4i; Se: 4i; Se: 4i). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
