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?

Thanks
