Hi,

Your block
begin kpoint_path
G 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 K 0.33333 0.33333 0.00000
H 0.33333 0.33333 0.50000 A 0.00000 0.00000 0.50000
G 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 M 0.50000 0.00000 0.00000
L 0.50000 0.00000 0.50000 A 0.00000 0.00000 0.50000

end kpoint_path

Means: do the segment G-K, then H-A, then G-M, then L-A.
If you want all segments, you have to add more lines for the missing path segments, e.g.

G 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 K 0.33333 0.33333 0.00000
K 0.33333 0.33333 0.00000 H 0.33333 0.33333 0.50000
H 0.33333 0.33333 0.50000 A 0.00000 0.00000 0.50000
[…]

Best,
Giovanni

Dear users
 I am calculating electronic band structure of bulk PbI2 which has a hexagonal unit cell, along with a path G-K-H-A-G-M-L-A, where H and L are just 0.5 (crystal) unit above along z direction to K and M respectively. While plotting the band structure, its not considering any point between K-H and similarly in M-L. By default , it generates 100 points between two kpoint.But in my case it's not happening, so I am getting discontinuities in valence bands .please help me to fix it ?
I am writing my case.win input file
