Plotting with Configurations in pyprocar

This example illustrates how to utilize various configurations for plotting band structures using the pyprocar package. It provides a structured way to explore and demonstrate different configurations for the bandsplot function.

Preparation

Before diving into plotting, we need to download the example files. Use the following code to do this. Once downloaded, specify the data_dir to point to the location of the downloaded data.

Downloading example

 import pyprocar

 data_dir = pyprocar.download_example(
                             save_dir='',
                             material='Fe',
                             code='vasp',
                             spin_calc_type='spin-polarized-colinear',
                             calc_type='bands'
                            )

import os
import pyprocar

# Define the directory containing the example data

data_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}vasp{os.sep}spin-polarized-colinear{os.sep}bands"
code='vasp'
spins=[0,1]

# Section 1: Locating and Printing Configuration Files
# ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#
# This section demonstrates where the configuration files are located in the package.
# It also shows how to print the configurations by setting print_plot_ops=True.
#

# Path to the configuration files in the package
config_path = os.path.join(pyprocar.__path__[0], 'cfg')
print(f"Configuration files are located at: {config_path}")

# Print the configurations
pyprocar.bandsplot(code=code,dirname=data_dir,fermi=5.590136,print_plot_opts=True)

Configuration files are located at: z:\research projects\pyprocar\pyprocar\cfg

            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            There are additional plot options that are defined in the configuration file.
            You can change these configurations by passing the keyword argument to the function.
            To print a list of all plot options set `print_plot_opts=True`

            Here is a list modes : plain , parametric , scatter , atomic , overlay , overlay_species , overlay_orbitals
