I have tried using the "Matlab's 'contour' function" approach to solve this problem but in every case when i compute the structure in MPB it corrects the lattice directions for a square lattice to the [100] and [010] directions rather than the [1/sqrt2 1/sqrt2 0] and [1/sqrt2 -1/sqrt2 0] i assign. I have even tried using a super cell with multiple rods but it still corrects the lattice. Is it possible to override MPB's correction of the lattice directions to visualise an effective 45-degree anisotrophy direction?
