Yambo Community Forum

Dear all

I have a general question on plotting exciton, wave-functions, etc.. produced by Yambo.
I saw that Yambo can produce 3D XSF files, and I can open them with Xcrysden.

Now I would like to plot different excitons for the same system,
so I open the file, I rotate the structure and zoom until I get an image I like.
My problem is that for each exciton, I do the rotation, zooming and so on, by hand with Xcrysden
and so all the figures are slightly different.
Is there a way to use a script to generate automatically a figure starting from the XSF files?
or another program that can do it?

with best regards
Javad

Dear Javad

you can create scripts also with Xcrysden, it is explained here

http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/scripting.html

in such a way you can define a standard way to make your plots
