The Python Script "plot.spintext"
by Benedikt Maurer
Purpose: This python script is part of the excitingscripts
module and is employed in the tutorial Spin-texture calculation for producing the plot of the spin texture.
General description:
plot.spintext
can be used to plot the spin texture data from the file spintext.xml, that is produced by a spin texture calculation in exciting
.
Optional arguments:
Argument | Shortcut | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
--help | -h | Show the help message and exit. | |
--directory | -d | Defines the relative path to the directory where input.xml and spintext.xml are stored. | |
--band | -b | Defines the band index for the plot. | |
--contour | -c | 'spin_z' | Defines the context of the contour plot. Choises are 'energy' and 'spin_z'. |
--contour_threshhold | -cthr | 'max' | Defines a threshhold for the contour in case of -c = 'spin_z'. If -cthr = 'max', the threshhold is determined by the absolute maximum of the spin texture in the z direction. Else the threshhold can be defined with a real number. |
