Dear Eduardo

Many thanks for your detailed answer.

> I use GDIS to visualize and modify some structures, and to produce  images.

> Quantum ESPRESSO. GDIS is the preferred interface of GULP and have
> capabilities for other packages, like SIESTA. It would be nice to have, and

> One

> If you do not use GULP, or SIESTA, or other supported code, you may live
> without it. For my taste, the images of XCRYSDEN are prettier. GDIS has
> certain capabilities to generate supercells and surfaces, what is call, a
> builder. XCRYSDEN can do the same, but only if you also have CRYSTAL.
