[Pw_forum] problem in making monoclinic supercell

Dear PWSCF users,

  I am using PWSCF for BaTiO3 thin films calculation, I just wanted to
visualize the (110) surface of the same by xcrysden. I am pasting the input
PWSCF file for the same, the problem is my system is monoclinic but xcrysden
is showing it to be cubic, may be I am doing some mistake. Please anybody
help me out to fix the problem. The calcualtin is for one layer.

Sincere thanks in advance,
Mohnish
