Vtotav.py
There is a script written by Python to convert LOCPOT for visualization.
The source of this script is from Github [1]
You can download it by clicking the link or from our Wiki:
1 install ASE environment[2]:
pip install --upgrade --user ase
2 Uncompress and copy it to your bin folder
3 make it executable
chmod u+x ~/bin/vtotav.py
4 In terminal, go to the folder containing work function calculation and run it with command:
vtotav.py LOCPOT z (z is the direction)
5 You will get output file named LOCPOT_Z
6 Because there are many spaces in the output file, I wrote a script (commands below) to convert those spaces into the excel format data (already in File:Vtotav.tgz):
sed -i '1d' LOCPOT_Z && sed -i 's/ */\t/g' LOCPOT_Z && sed -i 's/^[ \t]*//' LOCPOT_Z
For convenience, just copy the commands above and run it in terminal,
7 Copy the numbers from modified LOCPOT_Z to excel or Origin, and draw the figures
8 You can also use the script to plot workfunction File:Workplot.tgz, it looks like a little bit larger (Sooooory) :
