Re: [Pw_forum] xcrysden shows only primitive structure for output of QE

You might try findsym: http://stokes.byu.edu/iso/findsym.php , where you 
enter the primitive vectors and lattice coordinates, and the program 
gives you the space group, conventional cell, and Wyckoff positions. For 
Linux there is also downloadable command line version:

Dear Tone, and developers of QE:

Thanks for the reply.
however, it will be interesting that the next versions of QE provide the 
conventional
cell output in conjunction with the primitive one.
In some cases (for example vc-relax command ) it is possible that the optimized 
primitive cell changes drastically.
For some users (such as me) transforming non-standard primitives to 
conventional is a hard job.

When ibrav=0, xcrysden shows the lattice as specified by
CELL_PARAMETERS ...

This is correct. For output, xcrysden relies only on the data stored in
the output file. Because only the primitive vectors are printed in the
output, xcrysden shows only primitive lattice.

If you want to see also the conventional lattice then transform pw.x
output file to XSF file (using pwo2xsf.sh filter) and then supplement
the XSF file with the corresponding convetional vectors, specified by
the CONVVEC card (see: http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/XSF.html#__toc__4 )

[Pw_forum] xcrysden shows only primitive structure for output of QE

2014-11-22 Thread James Lee
Hi 
When I use ibrav=0 and conventional cell coordinates, xcrysden shows 
conventional cell for vc-relax
output, and everything is ok.
when I use ibrav=2, xcrysden can show both primitive and conventional cell
for input file, but for its vc-relax output, xcrysden only shows optimized 
primitive cell. 
I need the optimized structure in conventional form.
I use QE5.1.1, and Xcrysden 1.5.60.

Regards
James
