oILAB is an open source C++ library to explore the crystallography of lattices and bicrystallography of interfaces. Some of its key features are

1. Dimension-independent algorithms implemented using C++ templates
2. Bicrystallography is explored using the Smith normal form for integer matrices
3. Generates bicrystals with coincident relation, and calculates the coincident site- and displacement shift complete-lattices
4. Generates arbitrary rational grain and phase boundaries, and characterizes disconnections by calculating the Burgers vectors and step heights
