.. py:class:: CellPrimitive(obj: Any, **hints: Any)

   Bases: :py:obj:`httk.atomistic.cell_backend.CellBackend`


   Backend for a cell backed by a raw 3x3 list or tuple of numbers (or any 3x3 vector-like).

   The native representation is preserved verbatim (one cell vector per row); the exact
   :class:`~httk.core.SurdVector` ``basis`` is built lazily and cached. This representation carries
   no separate length factor, so ``scale`` is the exact ``1`` and ``unscaled_basis == basis``.
   ``unwrap`` returns the original raw object.


   .. py:property:: basis
      :type: httk.core.SurdVector



   .. py:property:: scale
      :type: httk.core.SurdScalar



   .. py:property:: unscaled_basis
      :type: httk.core.SurdVector



   .. py:method:: unwrap() -> Any

      Return the most raw representation possible of this backend, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion -
      or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type,
      that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
