Plotting with Configurations in pyprocar#

This example illustrates how to utilize various configurations for plotting the density of states (DOS) using the pyprocar package. It provides a structured way to explore and demonstrate different configurations for the dosplot 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='dos'
                            )
import os
import pyprocar

# Define the directory containing the example data
code='vasp'
data_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}{code}{os.sep}spin-polarized-colinear{os.sep}dos"

# 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_opts=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

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