ELK-BANDS(1)

✨ elk-bands — the band-plotting bestie ✨

okay so 💖 this is the manual page for elk-bands, part of the Elk Code Manual lineup, and she's here to make your band structures look gorgeous.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

elk-bands [min_energy] [max_energy]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. two lil optional numbers, no drama 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so elk-bands plots the bands that come out of elk-lapw(1), and — this is the cute part — it includes all the labels you specified in your elk.in input file. yes bestie, your labels. showing up. on the plot. iconic 👑

ngl tho, she does not work alone. this program requires gnuplot(1) and awk(1). no gnuplot, no awk, no plot. it's giving collab energy 🤝✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so lowkey there are no options to use here. none. zero. nada.

but!! she does accept the signed minimal and maximal energy values as optional arguments. so if you wanna pass a range, go off 🫶

• min_energy, max_energy — optional signed minimum and maximum energy values you can hand over as arguments.

🎀 FILES 🎀

• elk.in — Input file. the source of truth, the main character ✨
• BAND.OUT — Band file.
• BANDLINES.OUT — Bandlines file.
• elk-bands.gps, elk-bands.eps — Gnuplot and EPS output files. the glow-up results 🌈
