    information about the gb. Also has additional methods that returns
    other information about a gb such as sigma value.

    Note that all gbs have the gb surface normal oriented in the c-direction.

     least for one grain) and the c vector is out of the surface plane

                :class:`pymatgen.core.lattice.Lattice` or
                simply as any 2D array. Each row should correspond to a lattice
                vector. E.g., [[10,0,0], [20,10,0], [0,0,30]] specifies a
                lattice with lattice vectors [10,0,0], [20,10,0] and [0,0,30].
            species ([Species]): Sequence of species on each site. Can take in
                flexible input, including:

                    [{"Fe" : 0.5, "Mn":0.5}, ...]. This allows the setup of
                    disordered structures.

                each species.

                dict of sequences, The sequences have to be the same length as
                the atomic species and fractional_coords. For gb, you should
                have the 'grain_label' properties to classify the sites as 'top',

            ab_shift (list of float, in unit of crystal vector a, b): The relative
                shift along a, b vectors.

                that is, mu/mv = c2/a2. If it is irrational, set it to none.
                For orthorhombic system, ratio = [mu, lam, mv], list of three integers,
                that is, mu:lam:mv = c2:b2:a2. If irrational for one axis, set it to None.
                e.g. mu:lam:mv = c2,None,a2, means b2 is irrational.
                For rhombohedral system, ratio = [mu, mv], list of two integers,
                that is, mu/mv is the ratio of (1+2*cos(alpha))/cos(alpha).
                If irrational, set it to None.
                For hexagonal system, ratio = [mu, mv], list of two integers,
                that is, mu/mv = c2/a2. If it is irrational, set it to none.
                This code also supplies a class method to generate the ratio from the
                structure (get_ratio). User can also make their own approximation and
                input the ratio directly.
            plane (list): Grain boundary plane in the form of a list of integers
                e.g.: [1, 2, 3]. If none, we set it as twist GB. The plane will be perpendicular
                to the rotation axis.
            max_search (int): max search for the GB lattice vectors that give the smallest GB
                lattice. If normal is true, also max search the GB c vector that perpendicular
                to the plane. For complex GB, if you want to speed up, you can reduce this value.
                But too small of this value may lead to error.
            tol_coi (float): tolerance to find the coincidence sites. When making approximations to
                the ratio needed to generate the GB, you probably need to increase this tolerance to
                obtain the correct number of coincidence sites. To check the number of coincidence
                sites are correct or not, you can compare the generated Gb object's sigma_from_site_prop
                with enum* sigma values (what user expected by input).
            rm_ratio (float): the criteria to remove the atoms which are too close with each other.
                rm_ratio*bond_length of bulk system is the criteria of bond length, below which the atom
                will be removed. Default to 0.7.
            quick_gen (bool): whether to quickly generate a supercell, if set to true, no need to
                find the smallest cell.

        Returns:
           Grain boundary structure (gb object).
