Edit figures

[mreza]

Hi to all
The quality of figures generated by ATK is very poor and we have no possibility to edit them.
How can I edit figures like MATLAB? How can i present 2 different plots in the same figure to compare?
How can i change the type of line to dashed line?

best regards
Reza

We're working on improving this a bit, but the easiest way for you for now is probably to export the data in the plots (right-click the plot and choose Export data), and use whatever other software you prefer.

Thanks alot for attention. I don't understand the last sentence of your reply. what do you mean about "use whatever other software you prefer".
For example, i export the data in the plot and type in the "File name" box , aaa.fig (MATLAB figure's format).
But this file can not be loaded in MATLAB program.

We don't support Matlab fig format. The data is just exported as numbers, in column format (x/y).

1- What is the type of expoted file?
2- What do i write in the "File name box"? (e.g. aaa.?)
3- How can i open this exported file?

1. XY format:

0.1    1.32
0.2    3.23
etc
(except for band structure, that's a bit more complicated)

2. You can use any name you want.

3. That depends on which software you open it in. Easiest is Excel, just open it as text file.

Oh yes. My desired data is band structure. How can i wxport this one?

[Anders Blom]

In this case it's best to export directly in the Result Viewer, click the Export button. How you plot it in Matlab is a different story. The format of the exported file is that at the top, as comments, you have the definition of the symmetry points, and their location on the pseudoaxis (the horizontal axis) and then follows each band, energy as a function of the pseudo-coordinate along the route.
