Hi, Maximo Ramirez, first thing is that p4vasp only visualize bandstructure and dos plot you can't edit in p4vasp, only you can see your graph in normal and zoom view. So by clicking on zoom mode you can visualize bandgap of your system. For publication purpose you have to plot your data in other plotting software like GNOPLOT, MATPLOT etc.

Good Luck

Dear Shilendra,

I used p4vasp to get band structure and then I export as data file and plot using gnuplot. The problem is that I have a lot of bands, 216 for be exact.

If you see the image is not readable. I can't distinguish the bands.

Hi,

You can extract the data using p4vasp only. Open your .xml file, go to DOS+bands -->show -->bands and then click on camera kind of icon, it will save data in .dat, .ps and .agr format. Then you can plot it using gnuplot or any other software.

Best wishes,

Himadri

Dear Himadri,

If you read my last answer this was the procedure follow.

Get bands with p4vasp, then export as .data file and last plot using gnuplot.

The problem here is that there are lot of bands and is not possible read its.

Any suggestions to get more readable band plot?

Thanks!

Dear Maximo,

You can go to local DOS and band control section of p4v and then choose atoms and color bands, choose other atoms and different color and visualize them and you can save them also. You will have to play a lot with p4v.
