[Pw_forum] visualization of wave-functions

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Dear Sadegh, yuo cannot visualize the wavefunction: it is a complex quantity 
(i.e. complex number). You can visualize it's modulus square and, at Gamma, 
also its sign. In principle you could plot its real/imaginary part, but as 
there is an arbitrary phase I really do not see the point.

Anyway, have a look at the documentation of pp.x in PP/Doc and you will find 
out how to export what you need. There should also be an example
