Title: 2D plot
Post by: NW on May 20, 2018, 22:14

Hello,

I just want to know how to use new 2D plot framework in VNL 2017.1 for plotting combined bandstructure and DOS ? also how can I obtain the projected DOS? I was looking for the answers in your website but I could not find them!

You need to get objects (for instance, BS, DOS, PLDOS) on the lab floor to plot, after your calculation is done,  which should be included the analysis object. You can easily plot it.

You have to calculate the band structure (BS) and the projected density of states (PDOS), using the BandStructure and ProjectedDensityOfStates analysis objects available through the GUI in the Scripter. When computed, you should open the BS and PDOS plots using the corresponding visualization plugins as usual. 

In the lower right corner of both BS and PDOS plots there is an icon. Drag that icon from one window to the other, and you will be given the option to superimpose them, select BS/PDOS to get the combined plot.
