Plot BS from EIGENVAL file
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2013 8:56 pm
Hi,
I am a new user for VASP and I am not sure how to plot BS results using EIGENVAL file. I tried using p4vasp which doesn't show a very good plot features. Is there any other softwear that could be used easily?
Also, I tried to use Matlab script to plot BS since it gives the ability to control the graph appearance but since I am still learning using Matlab it didn't work.
In EIGENVAL file, I think in the example below the number of k-points= 1152 and 6 is the number of band as it appears in the first lines in the file.
However, I am not sure how to include the line which appear between each band (the third line here) which I think the k-point value (Gamma,M, X,...) or I just need to enter the values in the end. I need to understanding the file format to plot it. Could you please help me. Thanks in advance for your assistant.
