[Pw_forum] Doubt for plotting bandgap with ibrav=0

Hello Quantum Espresso Users!

I installed QE on ubuntu and ran the first example for plotting band gap
for silicon structure successfully. Then I tried graphene structure using
the following:

&SYSTEM
 ibrav= 4, celldm(1)= 4.602, celldm(3) = 4, nat= 2, ntyp= 1,
....
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {alat}
C 0.00 0.00 0.00
C 0.00 0.57735026918962576451 0.00
K_POINTS {tpiba_b}
....
I got the correct results for bandgap of graphene.

Now if I want to run for free bravais lattice with ibrav=0 for supercells
consisting of 3 hex rings

&SYSTEM
  ibrav = 0 ,  A =    9.17901,  nat = 14,  ntyp = 1

I do not obtain graphene band gap structure. I just get parallel bands. Can
anyone please help? I want to use ibrav=0 because I also want to run on
deformed structures on supercells in future.

Thanks in advance!
