<div> Dear Gabriele Sclauzero<br> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Many thanks for your kind attentions and helps. Yes ! I have plotted the band structure with GNUPlot and I have not any problem except</div>
<div> where I must draw <span lang="EN">vertical lines that are related to the specific points in the Brillouin zone :<br><br><span lang="EN"></span></span></div><span lang="EN">K: 0.33333 0.33333 0.0<br>Gamma:0.0 0.0 0.0<br>
M: 0.5 0.0 0.0<br>K: 0.33333 0.33333 0.0<br>H: 0.33333 0.33333 0.5<br>A: 0.0 0.0 0.5<br>L: 0.5 0.0 0.5<br>H: 0.33333 0.33333 0.5</span><br><br> I do not know in which way plotband.x attributes a value in the "X" axis to the above points. As one may saw, plotband.x creates vertical lines at that points. It seems that there is not any information about the attributed points on the X axis in the *.xmgr file. I need a help to draw that vertical lines.<br>

<br>Sorry, I didn't read your message carefully enough. You can try to apply the same trick to delete lines from that ps file. First just look inside the file with your preferred text editor, and then you can try a suitable find&replace procedure.<br>
However, I strongly advice you to use the datafile with the bands in the "xmgrace" format (which is nothing else than a pair of columns, one containing the "distance" along the path in k-space, the other the KS eigenvalues) and feed it to gnuplot (or another plotting program). Then you can select the postscript terminal and plot the file with any style you want (e.g. plot 'datafile' using 1:2 with points pt 2 ps 1).<br>
<br>HTH<br>GS<br><br>> Sincerely Yours<br>> Masoud Nahali<br>> SUT<br>><br>> You can modify the postscript file using this bash onliner. Suppose your PS file is named <a href="http://file1.ps/" target="_blank">file1.ps</a>, then simply do<br>
> grep -v dot <a href="http://file1.ps/" target="_blank">file1.ps</a> > <a href="http://file2.ps/" target="_blank">file2.ps</a><br>> and you will get the same graph without dots in <a href="http://file2.ps/" target="_blank">file2.ps</a><br>
