[Pw_forum] Visualize STM image with XCrySDen

[Paolo Giannozzi]

Xcrysden doesn't show surfaces unless you istruct it 
to show them (tools -> data grid). Did you?

I can only see the actual atoms, but not the STM image. Is there anything I should do? My research project is a 2D structure generated using big vacuum on z direction, and it looks like such 2D STM can only be written in .xsf format? Is there any other software package I can easily switch to?
