Dear QE users,
I am calculating the distributions of |psi|^2 in vacuum space when an
electric field is applied to the carbon nanotube. I can see the calculation
result in a 3D plot (XCrySDen). However, when I tried to see it in 2D plot
and I put the following pp.in, the following error appeared. I don't know
how to deal with it. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Best regards,
Toshiharu Higuchi
