Lattice coding and decoding

function show3cut(varargin)

%SHOW3CUT Display lattice in three cuts.
%   SHOE3CUT(L1,L2,...,Style1,Style2,...) capture the chages performed
%   on desired lattice and displays result in 3-cut view. This function
%   is better to use with 3-dimensional lattices or sphere packings. 
%
%   Examples:
%       Z2 = makelatt('Z',9,2);
%       RZ2 = rotlatt(Z2);
%       N6 = sshell(RZ2,6);
%       show3cut(Z2,RZ2,N6,0,1,2);
% 
%       A2 = makelatt('A',9,2);
%       Hex = makelatt('Hex',9,2);
%       show3cut(Hex,A2,0,1);
