Method Detail

makeSite

java.lang.Object makeSite(AbstractLattice lattice,
                          int[] coord)

Constructs a site for placement in a lattice. Arguments are not necessarily used to construct the site, but are provided by the interface in case this information is to be held or used by the site.

Parameters:

lattice - the lattice where the site will reside

coord - the index by which the site can be accessed from the lattice. New site should make its own copy of this if it uses the coord.
