This is why image manipulation or some other presentation programs are used for. Take as many "primitive" images as you like and assemble a master image there. > 2. >No!

Instead of making XSF, make a plain pw.x input file and specify ATOMIC_POSITIONS in crystal units, then load that pw.x input file into xcrysden. Now you can pass to Carthesian if you wish so (i.e. save the loaded file as XSF). > > 3.

But what about co-ordinate symbol??? > Is it possible to make its size bigger????? Unfortunately not. (you can make it manual though: print it as it is so that you will have the directions, and then make a new one in some image processing program) Regards, Tone -- Anton Kokalj J.
