PURPOSE ^

adds new atom to an sw object

SYNOPSIS ^

function addatom(obj, varargin)

DESCRIPTION ^

 adds new atom to an sw object

 ADDATOM(obj,'Option1', Value1, ...)

 Input:

 obj       sw object

 Options:

   r       Atomic positions, dimensions are [3 nAtom]. No default value!
   S       Spin of the atoms, dimensions are [1 nAtom], for non-magnetic
           atoms set S to zero. Default spin is generated from the given
           label of the atom. For example if 'label' is 'MCr3+' or 'Cr3+'
           then the high spin of S=3/2 is automatically generated. The
           high spin values for every ion is stored in the last column of
           the ion.dat file. If the atom type is unknown S=0 is assumed.
   label   Names of the atoms for plotting and form factor
           calculations (see ion.dat), it is a cell, optional.
           Example:
           {'atom1' 'atom2' 'atom3'}
           Default value is 'atomI', where I is the atom index.
   color   Colors of the atoms for plotting, dimensions are [3 nAtom],
           where each column describes an RGB color. Each value is between
           0 and 255, optional. Default value is [255;165;0] for each
           atom.
           Alternatively a name of the color can be given as a string, for
           example 'White', for multiple atoms package it into a cell. For
           the list of colors, see sw_colorname().

 Output:

 The function creates extra elements in the 'unit_cell' field of the obj
 sw object.

 Example:

 crystal.ADDATOM('r',[0 1/2; 0 0; 0 0],'S',[1 0],'color',{'red' 'blue'})

 Adds a magnetic atom (S=1) at position (0,0,0) and a non-magnetic one at
 (1/2 0 0) with red and blue color respectively.
