I apologise for my wrong statement. I thought I read that 'read' and
'write' formats did not coincide. Instead, as it actually works makes
perfect sense, as many plotting tools would work out-of-the-box with
cartesian.

Yeah, I know that. I erroneously switched to ".true." in view of what I
erroneously thought.

Ditto. I'll review the inputs, but I haven't run any calculation so far.
I'll check tutorials first and, if really needed, I'll open a new post.
