Miller Indices & Steriographic Projection
The Miller indices can be determined from the steriographic projection by measuring the angles relative to known crystallographic directions and applying the law-of-cosines.
(Figure 2-39 Cullity)
For ,, and to represent the angles between the normal of a plane and the a1, a2, and a3 axes respectively, then:

Where a, b, and c are the unit cell dimensions, and a/h, b/k, and c/l are the plane intercepts with the axes. The inner planar spacing, d, is equal to the distance between the origin and the plane (along a direction normal to the plane).

Reciprocal Lattice
Like the real-space lattice, the reciprocal space lattice also has a translation vector, Hhkl:

Where the length of Hhkl is equal to the reciprocal of the spacing of the (hkl) planes
