Hello, I'm trying to calculate Hirshfeld charges as a postprocess. To do so, I need to obtain the atomic rho for each atom, in real space. I've seen that "atomic_rho.f90" calculates the total rho as a superposition of the individual atomic ones, obtained from the pseudopotentials. But I couldn't

Thanks, again, Axel. You probably know ImageMagick can be incorporated into XCrySDen, along with the "animation tools" Whirlgif and mpeg_encode. However, the latter two will not be "raised" by XCrySDen unless the file type is axsf. You're suggestion to use ImageMagick is a good one and I'll
