actually u ve generated the correct band structure... just change the
reference values in your xxxx.plotband.in( which acts as input file for
./plotband.x)

2nd line has 2 numbers which specify range of energies in ur plot
5th line is Fermi energy(can be inferred from bands.dat file) to mark as
dashed line in plot
6th line has 2 values 1st value sets y axis numbering step.. 2nd value is
set as reference zero level(generally the Fermi level itself)


PS: other users correct me if m wrong
