[Pw_forum] A simple problem about display

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Ou,

I do not think there is any canned tool to do that. I am not sure  
that such a plot would be really meaningful, because it would depend  
a lot on the details of the optimization algorithm. In any event, if  
you really need it, it should not be difficult to cook it up  
yourself. Just extract the relevant data (energies, atomic positions  
- either by hands or using awk/perl), and plot them as functions of a  
fictitious integer "coordinate" (the "optimization step": 1,2,3 ...).  
To plot energies you can use gnuplot, xmgr, or a similar program,  
whereas to plot the structure you can use xcrysden ... If you do not  
know how awk/perl or the like work, be assured: neither do I. Just do  
what I would: either browse the intenet for one of the many available  
on-line guides, or tease a serviceable and knowledgeable colleague of  
yours.

Please, keep us informed of your progresses.

Cheers - SB
