Dear Andrea,<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much! Owning to your help, I have got a perfect bands diagram without abnormal lines. Your instruction plays a significant role in curbing this problem. Many thanks!</div><div>

Now use plotband.x on bands-down-lsym.dat. Plotband.x reads also<br>
the .rap file and produces several files that you can plot with<br>
a graphical program.<br>

&gt;         You can try the flag lsym=.true. as input of bands.x and plot<br>
&gt;         all the<br>
&gt;         files that are produced by plotband.x.<br>

&gt;         &gt; Dear all,<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; I plotted a bands diagram with plotband.x, but there is some<br>
&gt;         chaos in<br>
&gt;         &gt; the diagram (namely the output file <a href="http://bands.ps" target="_blank">bands.ps</a>).  The diagram<br>
&gt;         was put in<br>
&gt;         &gt; the this website:<br>
&gt;          <a href="http://www.douban.com/group/topic/32502443/" target="_blank">http://www.douban.com/group/topic/32502443/</a><br>
&gt;         &gt; I also tried to save the bands.xmgr as bands.dat and load it<br>
&gt;         to<br>
&gt;         &gt;  origin 8.0 and Xmgrace, but all failed. The problem still<br>
&gt;         emerged.<br>
&gt;         &gt; How to fix this program and curb the problem?<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; Best Regards!<br>
