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 30 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 24 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

AB3C_hP30_194_bf_hk_af-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP30, then the space-group number 194, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ti: 2a; Ba: 2b; Ba: 4f; Ti: 4f; O: 6h; O: 12k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
