Your question is not very clear to me. Are you facing problems with the plotting program 
you're using (in such case maybe this is not the correct forum) or with pwscf itself?

Please try to clearify your questions with some small plots/examples or problematic input 
output files...

It is also a good habit to specify the steps followed to produce the data (to understand 
what you are actually looking at), the QE version etc etc.
