<div dir="ltr">Dear Hongyi Zhao,<div><br></div><div> I understand that and have also checked the Seek-path online tool at materials cloud website. However I could not figure out a way to get many q (or k) points along the paths. The matdyn.x needs many points along the path as an input, let's say 400. That's why I have made such a script using the seek-path module.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your prompt response, best regards,</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Em qua., 19 de jan. de 2022 às 21:42, Hongyi Zhao <<a href="mailto:hongyi.zhao@gmail.com">hongyi.zhao@gmail.com</a>> escreveu:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 8:39 AM Hongyi Zhao <<a href="mailto:hongyi.zhao@gmail.com" target="_blank">hongyi.zhao@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

So, I decided to write a script based on the Seek-path python module (<a href="https://pypi.org/project/seekpath/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pypi.org/project/seekpath/</a>).<br>
