Plotting bandsdosplot#

This example illustrates how to utilize various configurations for plotting both band structures and density of states (DOS) side by side using the pyprocar package. It provides a structured way to explore and demonstrate different configurations for the bandsdosplot function.

Preparation#

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

Downloading example#
bands_dir = pyprocar.download_example(save_dir='',
                             material='Fe',
                             code='vasp',
                             spin_calc_type='non-spin-polarized',
                             calc_type='bands')

dos_dir = pyprocar.download_example(save_dir='',
                             material='Fe',
                             code='vasp',
                             spin_calc_type='non-spin-polarized',
                             calc_type='dos')
import os
import pyprocar

bands_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}vasp{os.sep}non-spin-polarized{os.sep}bands"
dos_dir = f"{pyprocar.utils.ROOT}{os.sep}data{os.sep}examples{os.sep}Fe{os.sep}vasp{os.sep}non-spin-polarized{os.sep}dos"
# Section 1: Plain Mode with Default Settings
# ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#
# This section demonstrates how to plot both band structures and DOS side by side using default settings.
# The keywords that work for `bandsplot` and `dosplot` will also work in `bandsdosplot`.
# These keyword arguments can be set in `bands_settings` and `dos_settings` as demonstrated below.
#


bands_settings = {
                  'mode':'plain',
                  'fermi':5.599480, # This will overide the default fermi value found in bands directory
                  'dirname': bands_dir
                  }

dos_settings = {
               'mode':'plain',
               'fermi':5.599480,   # This will overide the default fermi value found in dos directory
               'dirname': dos_dir
                }

pyprocar.bandsdosplot(code='vasp',
                bands_settings=bands_settings,
                dos_settings=dos_settings,
                )
