[xcrysden] .XSF shows always atoms not density/potential

Hello,
I think the problem was due to my Xcrysden version 1.4.1. I installed newer
version (pre 1.6) and the problem is solved now.
Thank you

This is from the FAQ:
Q: I am trying to display the isosurface/contours, but I cannot see
them?
A: Most likely the reason is that Lighting-Off display-mode is switched
on, which cannot render the isosurface/contour. The Lighting-Off
display-mode can render only molecules or crystals and nothing more. If
you want to display isosurfaces, forces, Wigner-Seitz cells, etc., then
switch to Lighting-On mode. Read here the description about Lighting-Off
and Lighting-On display-modes.
If this does not solve the problem, please, check these documents:
http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/density.html
http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/isocontrol.html
http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/plane1control.html
and if you still cannot see anything, send another email describing the
sequence of steps you followed in trying to see the density.
