Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your replies. I know that this is probably a simple
question, but how do you plot the electron density using xcrysden. My
computer already has xcrysden installed, and I've output the electron
density in xcrysden format, so I have the file density-sp1.xsf. But when
I open that file within xcrysden all I get is the atomic structure, and
I can't figure out how to get it to plot any electron density data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Bob

I never heard of VESTA before, thanks for letting us know, Myrta. The
specification for XCrySDen format as given on its website is somewhat
fuzzy,
and I only tested Octopus output on XCrySDen itself when writing those
routines, so it may be that VESTA implements the specification
somewhat
differently from XCrySDen.
